Non-member functions

make_error_code(std::errc) (C++11)	constructs an `std::errc` error code (function)
make_error_condition(std::errc) (C++11)	constructs an `std::errc` error condition (function)

Helper classes

is_error_condition_enum<std::errc>

(C++11)

extends the type trait std::is_error_condition_enum to identify the the std::errc values as error conditions
(function template)

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <system_error>
#include <thread>
int main()
{
    try {
        std::thread().detach(); // detaching a not-a-thread
    } catch (const std::system_error& e) {
        std::cout << "Caught a system_error\n";
        if(e.code() == std::errc::invalid_argument)
            std::cout << "The error condition is std::errc::invalid_argument\n";
        std::cout << "the error description is " << e.what() << '\n';
    }
}

Output:

Caught a system_error
The error condition is std::errc::invalid_argument
the error description is Invalid argument
