Now I like a lot the way this function is desigend and I'll do it
exactly like that. I'll also use a standard type as suggested because
of the same reason: we all know of what we are talking about,
especially with the 64bits age comming quite fast. This is an overkill
design for the simple need I have, but my personal way of work is
always: do it right the first time (it takes the same time to code a
good or a bad function (by design).
Thank you for this contrib. I'm glad to see the usual linux way to do
the thing. (I was in fact asking myself of what it would have look
like in linux world).
