 Shouldn't this be something like QERR_OPEN_FAILED, so that we
can use the same error for all open functions?

 Also, we have to think a way to specify the reason from errno.

 Something I forgot to mention, 'FopenFailed' doesn't seem
interesting to clients. Maybe 'OpenFileFailed'?

Whatever name you like best.  The intention is certainly to use this for
*file* open errors regardless of the precise function used to open.

Yes only if client programs use this for handling the error, not just to
pass it to a human user.

Although most errors are standardized, their numeric encoding is not, so
we can't just transmit errno.  strerror() is right out, because that's
for humans.

 Probably OpenFileFailed or CantOpenFile.

 IIRC we had a conversation about this and the conclusion was that we
will need our own qerror_strerror() or something like that.
