/**
 * Reenterant variant of `strerror`.
 * 
 * This is an XSI-compliant extension. However the name
 * is not part of the XSI specification, `strerror_r`
 * should be used. It is defined to this function if
 * `(_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600) && !_GNU_SOURCE`.
 * However it is not defined if _SLIBC_SOURCE is defined.
 * 
 * @param   errnum  The error code.
 * @param   buf     Buffer where the description shall be stored.
 * @param   buflen  The allocation size of `buf`.
 * @return          Zero on success, value for `errno` on error
 * 
 * @throws  ERANGE  `buf` was too small to store the description.
 * 
 * @since  Always.
