The errno --list command is used to display a list of error names and their corresponding error number values.

In computer programming, the errno variable is used to indicate the occurrence of an error during the execution of a program. It is typically set by system calls and library functions when they encounter an error, allowing the program to handle and respond to the error accordingly.

By running errno --list in a command-line interface or terminal, the command will retrieve the list of error names and their assigned error numbers from the system's error database. This can be useful for understanding and debugging error codes returned by system functions in various programming languages.
