*Sigh*. That just shows that that is what the code is meant to do.
If you check the spec, you'll see that most of the pthread functions are meant to
return the error number.
i.e. picking a function at random - pthread_mutex_lock
"
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the pthread_mutex_lock( ) and pthread_mutex_unlock( ) functions shall
return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
