Once you've returned a value, that value is not in the domain of

the C standard, but in the domain of the op system.



From your other reply, I gather that it's rash to make any

assumption about what a return value means, beyond 0 = success. So

I should be able to use anything, within sensible limits, provided

I doc it properly.
