IIUC, another error return value (besides -1) is PATH_MAX, meaning that the buffer would overrun; correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm not, I propose that they get handles similarly. In addition, it might be safer to compare to (size_t)-1 (I keep forgetting whether this is the default when comparing signed and unsigned - some compilers warn about comparisong with mixed signs).
