2) Where can I find the symbolic name in C?

Use standard C library char* strerror(int errnum) function. You can see an example usage in Modules/posixmodule.c (posixstrerror). I don't believe that would provide adequate Windows support.

Well, there's still the idea of a winerror module:

Perhaps someone can pick it up and turn it into a (generated) C module ?!
