Summary:

The documentation for the open() and sopen() functions indicates that

these functions set errno values, while the fopen() documentation does

not explicitly state this. However, fopen() will set errno for most of

the same error conditions as open() and sopen().

Internally, fopen() calls many of the same low-level routines that

open() and sopen() call. Because these routines set errno on an error,

errno is also set for errors with fopen(). The one errno value that is

NOT set with fopen() is EMFILE. For more information on the exact

errno values, refer to the documentation for open().
