yup
... and which negative number depended upon which error... typically a
non-zero return code is a failure... and the positive ints would be the
size... so the negatives would be the rc values.
I agree though with a previous post that it has to be something other
than
the int... like ok, why in the world would anyone want to use something
other than an unsigned long...
