Non-Zero return code on successful decryption?

[carl w spitzer]

usually a zero return code means successful completion and nonzero a
failure.
I was not sure if solaris used positive or negative logic relating to
return codes.
If negative then a nonzero return indicates success.
if positive then a nonzero rethrn indicates failure.
