Thanks for fixing the interface!

that's nor particulary clean. One value per file and all that. Could
we simply return errnos in _all_ the error cases? (Docs would suggest
this contains integer so string is definitely unexpected).

You should not return strings... and in this case it is not clear how
the code works. You fill the buf, but then return...? Better stick to
integers.
