We call strbuf_read(), and want to know whether we got any output. To do so, we assign the result to a size_t, and check whether it is non-zero. But strbuf_read returns a signed ssize_t. If it encounters an error, it will return -1, and we'll end up treating this the same as if we had gotten output. Instead, we can just check whether our buffer has anything in it (which is what we care about anyway, and is the same thing since we know the buffer was empty to begin with). Note that the "len" variable actually has two roles in this function. Now that we've eliminated the first, we can push the declaration closer to the point of use for the second one.
