'bytes' is unsigned of type size_t, and can't be negative. But the assigned write() returns ssize_t, and -1 on error. For testing < 0, 'bytes' needs to be of a signed type.
You are right that, but the fix should be to use ssize_t not plain "int". (udt_do_read() correctly uses ssize_t) Not providing patch since the change is trivial.
