for nearly every function, it is just "Returns 0 if succeeded, or a negative
value for error"
I considered that all but _init and _free could return EAGAIN, it was not
too hard to implement that way. From the code in agent.c I realize some are
always instant and some are indeed blocking, but at least my code will be OK
if it changes.

uh, I must admit I just don't know what is forwarding an agent connection,
so I believe I can close it :-)
