Many Gliimly statements return status with GG_ERR_... error codes, which are generally descriptive to a point. Such status may not as detailed as the operating system "errno" variable, however you can use "errno" clause in get-req statement to obtain the last known errno value from aforementioned statements. You should obtain this value as soon as possible after the statement because another statement may set it afterwards.
In the following example, a directory is attempted to be deleted via delete-file, which will fail with GG_ERR_DELETE - however you can get a more specific code via "errno" (which in this case is "21", or "EISDIR", which means that it cannot delete a directory with this statement):
delete-file"some_directory" status stc
if-true stc equal GG_ERR_DELETE
get-req errno to e
@Cannot delete file
pf-out"Error %ld\n", e
end-if
Copied!
Note that with some GG_ERR_... codes, the "errno" clause in get-req may return 0. This means the error was detected by Gliimly and not reported by the operating system.
