The function in question is err(), not perror(). (It is is better-described as "BSD-specific" or "4.4-derived-specific", as it's not NetBSD-specific. For example, CupertinoBSD, a/k/a Darwin, also has it, so it's on every iPhone in existence, giving over 1 billion copies of it planet-wide.

(And it's in Bionic, so that's a lot more than just 1 billion copies. But it's not on GNU/Linux, for example, which would get in the way - you're more likely to run zdump or date on a GNU/Linux system than a Bionlc/Linux system or a Darwin system.)
