library: procps_uptime() return value is a status
procps_uptime, previously just plain uptime() used to put the uptime (as a double) in the first argument and return uptime (as an int). It meant if you ran myuptime2 = procps_uptime(&myuptime1, NULL); You might get different results for myuptime1 and myuptime2 because they are different types. Most library calls use the return value to return the status, procps_uptime was in the middle. Until now. This function will return 0 on success. If you want (for whatever reason) uptime as an int then cast it. All of the procps binaries didn't use the return value for uptime except ps which set a variable to it but never used it anywhere.
