Added the following text to answer PR 7249: 

The manual page for each system call will list some of the
	common errno codes that system call can return, but that
	should not be considered an exhaustive list, i.e.  a properly
	written program should be able to gracefully recover from
	any error that a system call might return.  Documenting
	all the error codes that a system call can return in a more
	specification-like manner would take more resources than
	this project has available.
