`errno` is a userland concept; the kernel returns negative error numbers that libc then turns into -1 and sets errno. Thus the correct manpage is errno(3).

As a long time emacs user, I appreciated the inclusion of EMACS as an error code. When I moved from TECO to gnu emacs in to 80s, elisp was an advance. Now I have a perpetual todo item... "rewrite emacs in fennel or janet or even minimalisp."
