hopen

hopen gives system error codes above 400 million during open and lock. Read the message written to stderr. Subtract 400 million from the error code. This is the error code returned by the system.

In UNIX the strerror subroutine translates the error code.

In Windows the FormatMessage subroutine translates the error code.
