No official reference states the errno range, here aligns with musl and glibc and uses [-MAX_ERRNO, -1] instead of all negative ones. - musl: src/internal/syscall_ret.c - glibc: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sysdep.h The MAX_ERRNO used by musl and glibc is 4095, just like the one nolibc defined in tools/include/nolibc/errno.h.
