There's errc(), verrc(), warnc(), and vwarnc().
All the *c variants add "int code" before char *fmt (int status in the
example above), which allows passing an error that is not stored in errno.
eg:
void errc(int eval, int code, const char *fmt, ...);
void verrc(int eval, int code, const char *fmt, va_list args);
void warnc(int code, const char *fmt, ...);
void vwarnc(int code, const char *fmt, va_list args);

ALLPERMS and DEFFILEMODE are in sys/stat.h.
ALLPERMS is 07777; DEFFILEMODE is 0666.
REG_STARTEND is in regex.h.

It's an extension to POSIX that got mentioned here in January of last year;
it reuses pmatch[0] to provide a start and end (so as to handle embedded
nulls or start after n bytes).
