  ## This procedure is useful in the event when an OS call fails. In that case
  ## this procedure will return the error code describing the reason why the
  ## OS call failed. The ``OSErrorMsg`` procedure can then be used to convert
  ## this code into a string.
  ##
  ## **Warning**:
  ## The behaviour of this procedure varies between Windows and POSIX systems.
  ## On Windows some OS calls can reset the error code to ``0`` causing this
  ## procedure to return ``0``. It is therefore advised to call this procedure
  ## immediately after an OS call fails. On POSIX systems this is not a problem.
