Ok, let's say I take that approach for functions that currently return
pointers and not just return status integers.
But what do you think about the functions that a) don't need adjustments
(since they already return ints and we can just introduce a new error code
meaning EAGAIN - that's what I've done so far) or b) just require a minor
change like libssh2_sftp_read() that simply needs to return a signed variable
instead of the current size_t ?
libssh2_sftp_read() might need attention anyway since it is documented to
return -1 on error which is hard to do on unsigned variables, and because the
normal read() returns ssize_t and I think this should mimic that.
