Please don't. There is a higher cognitive cost to readers when you write
if (write_message(...)) {
The reader is forced to look at its implementation to see if it
returns positive in a non-error situation.
If you write it like so from the beginning
if (write_message(...) < 0) {
the reader can trust that the code follows "negative is an error"
convention. One fewer thing readers have to worry about.
