This value is either 0 for success or -1 for error. Coverity reports that "ret" is passed to a parameter that cannot be negative, pointing to the condition 'if (ret < 0)'.
Adjust it to just check for non-zero and avoid showing -1 in the error message, which is pointless. Perhaps these changes will molify Coverity.
