# nn_errno(3compat) Manual Page

## NAME

nn_errno - return most recent error (compatible API)

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <nanomsg/nn.h>

    int nn_errno(void);

## DESCRIPTION

The `nn_errno()` function returns the error number corresponding to the most recent failed operation by the calling thread.

| This function is provided for API compatibility with legacy libnanomsg. Consider using the relevant modern API instead.

| The error numbers returned from this function may include errors caused by system functions, which overlap the usual `errno` variable, and this function simply returns the value of `errno`. However, the values returned may include numeric values that are not defined by the system, but are unique to libnanomsg, such as `EFSM`.

This library implements the following error numbers, in addition to any others that might be set for `errno` by the underlying system:

## RETURN VALUES

This function returns the value of `errno`. If no operation has failed, then this will be zero.

## ERRORS

`EINTR` | Operation interrupted.
`ENOMEM` | Insufficient memory.
`EINVAL` | Invalid argument.
`EBUSY` | Resource is busy.
`ETIMEDOUT` | Operation timed out.
`ECONNREFUSED` | Connection refused by peer.
`EBADF` | Invalid or closed socket.
`EAGAIN` | Operation would block.
`ENOTSUP` | Protocol or option not supported.
`EADDRINUSE` | Requested address is already in use.
`EFSM` | Protocol state incorrect.
`EPROTO` | Protocol error.
`EHOSTUNREACH` | Remote peer is unreachable.
`EADDRNOTAVAIL` | Requested address is not available.
`EACCES` | Permission denied.
`EMSGSIZE` | Message is too large.
`ECONNABORTED` | Connection attempt aborted.
`ECONNRESET` | Connection reset by peer.
`EEXIST` | Resource already exists.
`EMFILE` | Too many open files.
`ENOSPC` | Insufficient persistent storage.
