[9fans] EWOULDBLOCK in APE

[lucio]

I'm seeking advice.

APE does not include EWOULDBLOCK in its <errno.h>.  I have a feeling
that no syscall will return EWOULDBLOCK as an error code, so I fail to
see any reason not to include it.  Am I missing something?

If it's not there, and someone uses EWOULDBLOCK, they'll get an
error.Probably a good idea.

I.E.

I think it's common on UNIX systems for EWOULDBLOCK to be a synonym for EAGAIN.

that's correct, at least acording to my POSIX man pages I have in the
posix-man contrib package.

well to be honest i did use up more than my share of wood blocks ...
but my fire was raging. in the early 80s when a thousand new errnos
were introduced it was a cocktail afternoon at basser, and i think it
was andrew taylor who looked at ENAMELON and exclaimed "And A Melon?"
... so i made melon daiquiris.

On the contrary: none of them, because if SCO doesn't realize that
once they release Unix as OSS they can't sue Torvalds over errno.h
there will be none.

Why did AT&T sell the rights to Unix in the first place? And why not
also V8/V9/V10?
