Hi again,

Hi,

Man page zshmodules(5.8) seems to be missing status information in module
zsh/system for builtins sysopen and sysseek. All the other builtins have some
kind of statement for return status. I believe status 0 is success and 1 would
be an error of some kind for both. Don't know if there are other error numbers
or if the parameter ERRNO is used.

Should it be assumed 0 and 1 are the only status numbers if nothing is stated?

Can't assume that at least for sysseek. If fd isn't assigned it returns a status of 2.

Thanks,

Jim Murphy
