// This function is called from our assembler syscall stubs.
// C/C++ code should just assign 'errno' instead.

// The return type is 'long' because we use the same routine in calls
// that return an int as in ones that return a ssize_t. On a 32-bit
// system these are the same size, but on a 64-bit system they're not.
// 'long' gives us 32-bit on 32-bit systems, 64-bit on 64-bit systems.
