What about changing the return type of the top level net
function from int (which is in fact really a BOOL) to a
string or better char *? NULL would indicate success in the
unix tradition, anything != NULL would be the error message.

The counter argument would be that having NULL as a success
message is a bit counter-intuitive, but it would everyone
writing net utilities think about famous last words if a
failure happens.
