Good idea.

This is difficult for to read, at first glance it seems according
to function name that 1 means "yes, it's empty".
Maybe rename it to probe_device().

yes, blkid_do_fullprobe() returns: 0 on success, 1 if nothing is detected or -1 on case of error.

This is always 0.

What about:
switch (probe_device(fd, path)) {
case 0: /* signature detected */

break;
case 1: /* no signature */
break;
default: /* error */

break;
}
I think it's more readable ;-)
