Summary: Check return codes everywhere

Initial Comment:
Some checks for return codes are missing.

Examples:
Would you like to add more error handling for return values from "write" like 
in the function "wlog_record_write" and from "lseek" in the function 
"wlog_scan_backward"?

1. I've got doubts about the correctness of the following source code.
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/lib/write_log.c?revision=1.9&view=markup
...
offset = lseek(wfile->w_afd, 0, SEEK_CUR) - reclen;
if ( offset == -1 ) {
...

Should the additional subtraction only be applied in the successful case?

4. Would you like to reduce the efforts for error code checking by an
exception class hierarchy?

The same has been fixed. May be you can also submit a patch for all error
handling required after analysis from your tool from http://splint.org/.
Thanks--

Thanks for this fix.

1. Would you like to detect every error situation as early as possible?

2. I see more candidates for similar updates to avoid unchecked function
calls.
Example:
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/lib/tst_tmpdir.c?revision=1.11&view=markup
- close()
- printf()
- scanf()
- strdup()
- unlink()

3. Would you like to improve the source code with the help of the tool
"http://splint.org/";?
