Slightly more paranoid would be something along the lines of
if (ret >= 0)
	data[ret] = '\0';

But this should be good enough I think so

The other thing I spotted while looking at the code is the fact that it
doesn't check the snprint() return value. But I guess PATH_MAX is big
enough that even if you somehow make maj and min INT_MIN it'll still
fit.
