They are documented in the man pages of the *nix functions you are  
calling (man open), and the actual values corresponding to the  
symbolic errno numbers can be found in /usr/include/errno.h (or in one  
of the files it includes). The actual numerical values differ however  
from OS to OS, so it's best to use the symbolic constants in your  
program (they are all prefixed with ESys in FPC, so e.g. ESysEPERM,  
ESysEBUSY, etc).

Just like with the win32 api, I don't think it would be worth the  
effort to duplicate all that information in our own manuals.
