Piquing my curiosity, "a small non-negative integer" is "small" up
to what? :) IOW, what is the limit?
That's obvious: -127.
Now, why is that obvious? And why isn't it -128?
I'm sure I may be showing my ignorance, but isn't -127 (and -128)
indeed a negative number? Carl said "non-negative".
No, you got it right, and I got it wrong.
Unless the value is actually unsigned. If that is the case, then the
number is 255 decimal if represented by only a single byte.
Error return codes are always negative.
