Check libroot for Correct Use of errno (easy)

[bonefish]

While BeOS API functions usually return error codes directly, POSIX functions just indicate an error by a special return value (often -1 or a NULL pointer) and set errno to the actual error code. Our libroot code (src/system/libroot, particularly the posix subdirectory) needs to be reviewed in this respect.

I will give it a try!

Could you provide a status on this one please ?

Certainly; * several additions to posix functions have been made regarding setting errno to the past 3 months (not only by me); (i don't remember exactly the particular functions names) * i have scan the posix subdirectory) for errno twice; but if it isn't urgent, i would like to check again. I think we should leave this ticket open a little longer.
