Subject says it all. Which one error value is most suitable / generic ?

Here are few ones I found which could be possible:

#define EPERM        1  /* Operation not permitted */
#define EAGAIN      11  /* Try again */
#define EACCES      13  /* Permission denied */
#define EBUSY       16  /* Device or resource busy */
#define ENODATA     61  /* No data available */
#define ECANCELED   125 /* Operation Canceled */

regards
Antti

IMHO, EAGAIN, EBUSY or ENODATA are the most pertinent ones.
