Realistically, fstat on an arbitrary object can fail with almost any
error, depending on what filesystem code backs the object you're
looking at. Trying to enumerate all the possibilities in the man pages
is a losing battle, and in general the errors listed should be treated
as representative rather than comprehensive.
