ierrno: Get Number for Last Detected System Error

The function is called by:

This number is updated only when an error actually occurs. Most routines and I/O statements that might generate such errors return an error code after the call; that value is a more reliable indicator of what caused the error condition.

Example 4: ierrno():

    INTEGER*4 ierrno, n 
    ... 
    n = ierrno() 
    write(*,*) n

Note:

• string in the call to perror cannot be longer than 127 characters.

• The length of the string returned by gerror is determined by the calling program.

• Runtime I/O error codes for f77 and f90 are listed in the Fortran User's Guide.
