I can do that. However, you had also mentioned changing the return
type to match what the calling function was expecting, an unsigned
long. But I can't do that since error codes are negative so it would
be a signed long which would lose precision and seemingly defeat the
point of matching the variable type the caller wants.  I could make it
a signed long long but that still doesn't match.  So it seemed saner
to just return the error and the value separately, that way the
function declaration was explicit about the types it wanted/returned,
and less room for error.  Would love to know your preferred solution.
