Since POSIX doesn't specify, I assume it allows setting errno on
success, as with any other libc function.  That includes setting errno
on a successful call that returns 0.  Which means that the errno check
must check for the specific errno values that actually mean an error of
this function.

I'll update the page.

Thanks,
