 11.2.3 File Name Errors
 -----------------------
 
 Functions that accept file name arguments usually detect these 'errno'
 error conditions relating to the file name syntax or trouble finding the
 named file.  These errors are referred to throughout this manual as the
 "usual file name errors".
 
 'EACCES'
      The process does not have search permission for a directory
      component of the file name.
 
 'ENAMETOOLONG'
      This error is used when either the total length of a file name is
      greater than 'PATH_MAX', or when an individual file name component
      has a length greater than 'NAME_MAX'.   Limits for Files.
 
      On GNU/Hurd systems, there is no imposed limit on overall file name
      length, but some file systems may place limits on the length of a
      component.
 
 'ENOENT'
      This error is reported when a file referenced as a directory
      component in the file name doesn't exist, or when a component is a
      symbolic link whose target file does not exist.   Symbolic
      Links.
 
 'ENOTDIR'
      A file that is referenced as a directory component in the file name
      exists, but it isn't a directory.
 
 'ELOOP'
      Too many symbolic links were resolved while trying to look up the
      file name.  The system has an arbitrary limit on the number of
      symbolic links that may be resolved in looking up a single file
      name, as a primitive way to detect loops.   Symbolic Links.
