I can at least answer the first question. Install libc6-doc and either
the standalone ``info'' package or ``emacs''. Then type ``info libc'' (or
start emacs and go into info mode). Once there, find information about
errno by hitting ``s'' and then typing ``errno''.
I've been very impressed by the info docs in libc6-doc. It makes
programming quite a bit easier.
