It seems, that numerical 0 is returned if rewind of file is
successful, in contrast to the documentation of 'frewind'
which tells me 'ret=1' in case of success :


octave:13> help frewind   		# or help -i frewind
frewind is a built-in function

 - Built-in Function:  frewind (FID)
     Move the file pointer to the beginning of the file FID, returning
     1 for success, and 0 if an error was encountered.  It is
     equivalent to `fseek (FID, 0, SEEK_SET)'.
