Is not this return value platform dependent? BTW a small manual bug on page (info "(elisp) Synchronous Processes"): -- Function: call-process program &optional infile destination display &rest args This function calls PROGRAM in a separate process and waits for it to finish. This is wrong since it does not wait if destination is 0.
