Just curious .. What does posix_fallocate() return ?

bookmark this:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/nfindex.html

    Upon successful completion, posix_fallocate() shall return zero;
    otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

Then there's no need for sys_allocate to return a long.
