  My guess was 0, though EXIT_SUCCESS would also be correct, right?
  I'm assuming you saw "process" and thought "function", which can indeed vary wildly.

    Err... nope. Processes and functions are vastly different. A function can have any return value it feels like, whereas a process should have a known set of exit conditions and values.
    I've been writing both for quite sometime ;)
