Here's an example:

...and what's errno set to?   With all due respect, if you're calling 
ANY of these APIs  (open, close, read, write, access, stat, unlink, etc, 
etc) and you aren't also retrieving errno, then you are creating a 
program that will be nearly impossible to maintain or provide support for.

When you get a -1, retrieve errno, and see what the error number is.
