Thank you for that. Looks good after two minor grammatical fixes.

Maybe document uses cases for that function?

Why does the function return a void? Can’t fail? Can you always change the state? (Does not look like an open/close to me)

cause -> causes

I suspect this is not an atomic operation, so you may have written some stuff even if the result is < 0?
