The setting of the value can be done by using an extra argument pointer. Then
if its set it be assigned. Otherwise it would be left alone. The return value
would return 0 on success, otherwise a standard return value indicating the
cause of the error.

I don't think we need the too small or too big, a simple range issue should
suffice and we have -ERANGE.
