Just because I felt like wasting time, I tried to improve some of 'errno' tool there, which I find quite useful.
The result is generally faster, with less forks, relying on matching of sed and awk or shell rather than a grep.  The only thing non-standard is the use of 'I' in sed 's' for case insensitivity.  I checked that that is supported by busybox's sed as well as gnu's.


if $(which gcc >/dev/null); then
        # Header finding trick from Kees Cook <kees@xxxxxxxxxx>
        headers=$(echo "#include <asm/errno.h>" | gcc -E - | awk -F\" '$2 ~ /\.h/ { print $2}' | sort -u)
else   
        headers="/usr/include/asm-generic/errno*.h"
fi

for code in "${@}"; do
        if [ "$code" -le 0 -o "$code" -ge 0 ] 2>/dev/null; then
                # Input is a number, search for a particular matching code
                sed -n "s,^#define\s\+\([^\s]\+\s\+${code}\s.*\),\1,p" ${headers}
        else   
                # Input is not a number, search for any matching strings
                sed -n "s,^#define\s\+\(.*${code}.*\),\1,Ip" ${headers}
        fi
done
