That is correct. The success vs fail error code in the wire protocol is
a simple enum
enum remote_message_status {
/* Status is always REMOTE_OK for calls.
* For replies, indicates no error.
*/
REMOTE_OK = 0,
/* For replies, indicates that an error happened, and a struct
* remote_error follows.
*/
REMOTE_ERROR = 1,
/* For streams, indicates that more data is still expected
*/
REMOTE_CONTINUE = 2
};
Thus, it can't cope with any data that needs to be returned. So in this
case, you need the 'int ret' return value for the positive case - this
is very like the virDomainIsPersistent() method.
