From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | error

Defined in header `<system_error>` |  |
enum class errc; |  | (since C++11)

The scoped enumeration `std::errc` defines the values of portable error conditions that correspond to the POSIX error codes.

### [edit] Non-member functions

make_error_code(std::errc) (C++11) | constructs an std::errc error code (function) [edit]
make_error_condition(std::errc) (C++11) | constructs an std::errc error condition (function) [edit]

### [edit] Helper classes

is_error_condition_enum<std::errc> (C++11) | extends the type trait std::is_error_condition_enum to identify the the std::errc values as error conditions (function template) [edit]

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <system_error>
    #include <thread>
    int main()
    {
        try {
            std::thread().detach(); // detaching a not-a-thread
        } catch (const std::system_error& e) {
            std::cout << "Caught a system_error\n";
            if(e.code() == std::errc::invalid_argument)
                std::cout << "The error condition is std::errc::invalid_argument\n";
            std::cout << "the error description is " << e.what() << '\n';
        }
    }

Output:

    Caught a system_error
    The error condition is std::errc::invalid_argument
    the error description is Invalid argument
