Just to voice my bike shed color preferences, I'd propose one of two
alternative solutions:

  1. Simply switch the documentation to match POSIX, and don't mention
that OpenBSD only returns 0.

  2. If we want to document that we always return 0 on success, then
we should continue to simply say so in the RETURN VALUES section, but
add a note to the STANDARDS section that this behavior is a BSD(?)
extension, and applications intending to be portable with POSIX should
not assume anything more than non-negative.
