        QH_ABORT()
        Convenience macro that logs an error message using a QNX helpers function and then calls abort()
        QH_ABORT_ON_ERRNO()
        A convenience macro that allows you to call qh_abort_on_errno() without specifying qh_log_info
        QH_RET_ERRNO()
        A macro that sets errno and returns its value
        QH_SET_ERRNO()
        A macro that sets errno
        QH_RET_ERRNO_WEOK()
        A macro that conditionally sets errno and always returns the specified error
        QH_RET_ON_ERRNO()
        A macro that conditionally (if not EOK) sets errno and returns the specified error
      - qh_abort_on_errno()
        Conditionally log an error message using QNX helpers logging functions and then call abort() if the specified errno is not EOK
      - qh_set_errno()
        Set errno
      - qh_set_errno_on_error()
        Conditionally set errno
      - qh_sticky_error()
        Store a new error code as a variable if the new error is not zero and the previously stored one is
      - qh_sticky_error_last()
        Store a new error code as a variable if the new error is not zero
      - qh_strerror()
        Convert an error number into an error message and guarantee that errno is kept intact in the process
