Think of printf(get_filename(full_path)); for example.

Return values aren't stupid because they are the same like parameters,
you should compare both values to know if something has gone wrong.
Stupid return values are those of one of my friends: he pretends void
doesn't exist, so all functions return BOOL(true), even when they
can't fail.
