+        This package contains the common list of error and
+        status codes. It is held centrally to allow
+        packages to interchange error codes and status
+        codes in a common way, rather than each package
+        having its own conventions for error/status
+        reporting. The error codes are modelled on the
+        POSIX style naming e.g. EINVAL etc. This package
+        also provides the standard strerror() function to
+        convert error codes to textual representation."
