A simple fix for the most common problem would be for perror and strerror
to add the symbol for the errno at the start. Instead of
/etc/password: Permission denied
you would get
EPERM: /etc/password: Permission denied
or of course
EPERM: /etc/password: Adgang ikke tilladt
which would even help english hackers, by making it simpler to search
the kernel for where the error is returned.
This is slightly off-topic as it's a libc issue.
