[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65559] savepath() regression no longer saves paths

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #22, bug #65559 (group octave):

The message is displayed regardless (no way to silence) which is probably not
a good idea nor a good architecture.

Instead of always printing the message, I think it would be a better idea to
change the function signature so that there is a second return argument.  For
example, the function signature for fcntl() is


[STATUS, MSG] = fcntl (FID, REQUEST, ARG)


Lots of the syscall functions work this way where the first return argument is
status and an additional argument is extra information.
