Hi Andrew,

I should have compared the ret with zero, anything other than zero would 
be treated as an error code. My mistake is resulted from the fact that 
for the time being the return value of these wrappers have not been used 
yet, they are used nothing but to print some error messages.

I will correct this in the v2 series of patches.

Best regards,

Harry
