I wonder if we could find some more consistent if/else pattern of the
error handling for this function. Each caller cares about something else
so it's hard to tell from a quick look which part is the expected one.
Something like:
if (ret < 0) {
unexpected error
} else if (ret > 0 ) {
no more leaves, probably a terminating condition
} else {
more leaves to scan, possibly this can be ommitted in most cases
}
