+NAME
+
+	strerror -- map an error number to an error message string
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+	#include <string.h>
+
+	char *strerror (int errnum)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+	Returns a pointer to a string containing an error message, the
+	contents of which are implementation defined.  The implementation
+	shall behave as if no library function calls strerror.  The string
+	pointed to shall not be modified by the caller and is only guaranteed
+	to be valid until a subsequent call to strerror.
+	
+BUGS
+
+	Requires that the system have sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
