The manual says this:
Unless otherwise stated, all I/O functions return nil on failure (plus
an error message as a second result and a system-dependent error code
as a third result) and some value different from nil on success.
(http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#6.8)
What else could it say?
