I have to admit that I didn't really look at this closely before
because it's just sample code... but I guess I should. You can add

(Just as a note: In theory perror() can change the value of errno, as
far as I know - so AFAIK you'd theoretically have to do something
like:

int errno_ = errno;
perror("...");
switch (errno_) {
...
}

I'll almost certainly work fine as-is in practice though.)
