By number of bytes stored, I assume you mean bytes stored in the non-error case, since bytes stored in the error case would just be bufsize. Right? If that's the case, then it's maybe worth fixing but I'm not sure I care. How many bytes would be needed seems to make somewhat more sense as being a useful value, but do we have any other functions that work that way?
