SYNTAX
     #include <error.h>

     int error_temp(e);

DESCRIPTION
     error_temp  returns  1  if  syscall  error  code e is a soft
     error, 0 if it is a hard error.  Normally e is errno.

     A hard error is persistent: file not found,  read-only  file
     system, symbolic link loop, etc.

     A  soft  error  is  usually transient: out of memory, out of
     disk space,  I/O  error,  disk  quota  exceeded,  connection
     refused, host unreachable, etc.
