... and nm_utils_fd_get_contents() and nm_utils_file_set_contents().
Don't mix negative errno return value with a GError output. Instead,
return a boolean result indicating success or failure.
Also, optionally
- output GError
- set out_errsv to the positive errno (or 0 on success)
Obviously, the return value and the output arguments (contents, length,
out_errsv, error) must all agree in their success/failure result.
That means, you may check any of the return value, out_errsv, error, and
contents to reliably detect failure or success.
Also note that out_errsv gives the positive(!) errno. But you probably
shouldn't care about the distinction and use nm_errno_native() either
way to normalize the value.
