    Problem Summary clock_nanosleep() tests incorrect checks errno for the error rather than
    the return value as specified in SUSv3 tC1.
    Problem Text The return value section of clock_nanosleep() states the following:

    RETURN VALUE
    If the clock_nanosleep( ) function returns because the requested
    time has elapsed, its return value shall be zero.

    If the clock_nanosleep( ) function returns because it has been
    interrupted by a signal, it shall return the corresponding error value.
    For the relative clock_nanosleep() function, if the rmtp argument is
    non-NULL, the timespec structure referenced by it shall be updated to
    contain the amount of time remaining in the interval (the requested time
    minus the time actually slept). If the rmtp argument is NULL, the
    remaining time is not returned. The absolute clock_nanosleep( ) function
    has no effect on the structure referenced by rmtp.

    If clock_nanosleep( ) fails, it shall return the corresponding error value.

    But the referenced assertions do something similiar to the following
    code from test 8:

    if (clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, NULL, &tp, &rmtp) != -1)
    {
    in_rpt("clock_nanosleep() did not return -1");
    xx_rpt(FAILURE);
    error++;
    }
    if (errno != EINTR)
    {
    in_rpt("clock_nanosleep() did not return errno
    EINTR. er
    rno %d %s ", errno, errname(errno));
    xx_rpt(FAILURE);
    error++;
    }

    According to the text above -1 is not a valid return code. Additionally,
    the return value needs to checked where errno is being checked in the code.
