When using a function like fpAccept on a non-blocking socket, in some
cases -1 is returned with a documented (Linux kernel) error code of
EAGAIN. Should I be looking for this in errno or SocketError?
When I've retrieved a numeric code from errno or SocketError, is there a
way of converting it to a concise literal such as 'EAGAIN'? I want the
log to report that accept() has failed with EAGAIN, rather than having
explanatory text that doesn't match the kernel documentation.
