NAME

       error_temp - identify soft syscall error codes

SYNTAX

       #include <error.h>

       int error_temp(e);

       int e;

DESCRIPTION

       error_temp  returns  1  if  syscall error code e is a soft error, 0 if it is a hard error.
       Normally e is errno.

       A hard error is persistent: file not found, read-only file  system,  symbolic  link  loop,
       etc.

       A soft error is usually transient: out of memory, out of disk space, I/O error, disk quota
       exceeded, connection refused, host unreachable, etc.
