 /* The math library has just one function:

- * arith_t arith(arith_state_t *states, const char *expr);
+ * arith_t arith(arith_state_t *state, const char *expr);
  *
  * The expr argument is the math string to parse.  All normal expansions must
  * be done already.  i.e. no dollar symbols should be present.
  *
  * The state argument is a pointer to a struct of hooks for your shell (see below),

- * compatibility, you should assume all negative values are errors):
- * 0 - no errors (yay!)
- * -1 - unspecified problem
- * -2 - divide by zero
- * -3 - exponent less than 0
- * -5 - expression recursion loop detected
+ * and an error message string (NULL if no error).
  *
  * The function returns the answer to the expression.  So if you called it
