The cut code will be fixed according to your requests.

But that's different from the return code of this function and would
belong to the function description above, no?

If the UVC is not performed the rcs will not be *changed*, so it's
advisable to set them to 0 to recognize a change.
Also:
While I generally like commenting as much as possible, this is starting
to get out of hand, the comment header is now taking up a lot of space.
I'll put the rc/rrc comment into the api documentation and I'm
considering putting the partial write comment into there too.
