I'd fold this into the previous 2 patches as the flag and method
are clearly very tightly coupled.

Function line continuations use two tab indentations or alignment after
the opening brace.

Returning a negativ errno through an unsigned argument looks dangerous.

And explanation of what the method is use for might be more useful than
mentioning that is is optional.

Spelling out the arguments tends to help readability, but then again
none of the existing methods does it.
