I.e. we typically call a variable "saved_errno" when it is used in this pattern: if (a_syscall_whose_error_condition_we_care_about()) { int saved_errno = errno; perform_some_cleanup_operation_that_might_clobber_errno(); return error_errno(..., saved_errno); /* * or * errno = saved_errno; * return -1; * and let the caller handle 'errno' */ } But since I do not think of a better name for this new variable that is not exactly used like so, let's queue it as-is.
