You're bloody brilliant! A step I didn't think about because I thought
too simple.
A format=0, length=0, type=0, value_length=0, pick one, any card, I
lose.
One last brain pick, related since on errors, mine!. Even though I
normally check for reply == NULL, I occasionally use the error return.
I can't find examples, but the question: does an error response (!=
NULL) belong to me such that I need to free it?
May great things come your way, thank you, thank you.
