[ENOROOT] One of the following conditions exists:
• The root fileset of the local node (fileset 0) is not in the STARTED state.
• The current root fileset for the specified file is unavailable. The OSS
name server for the fileset might have failed.
• The specified file is on a remote HP NonStop server node and communi-
cation with the remote name server has been lost.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the pathname prefix is not a directory.
[ENXIO] An invalid device or address was specified during an input or output operation
on a special file. One of the following events occurred:
• A device was specified that does not exist, or a request was made beyond
the limits of the device.
• The fileset containing the requestor’s current working directory or root
directory is not mounted. This error can occur after failure and restart of
an OSS name server until the fileset has been repaired and remounted.
[EOSSNOTRUNNING]
The program attempted an operation on an object in the OSS environment while
a required system process was not running.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
_PC_SOCK_MAXBUF is not supported because it is not in the XPG4 Version 2 specification.
The POSIX standards leave some features to the implementing vendor to define. The following
features are affected in the HP implementation:
• The error values [EACCES], [ENAMETOOLONG], [ENOENT], and [ENOTDIR] can
be returned by the pathconf() function.
The following are HP extensions to the XPG4 Version 2 specification:
• The errno values [EFAULT], [EFSBAD], [ENOROOT], [ENXIO], and
[EOSSNOTRUNNING] can be returned by the pathconf() function.
