The _easy_ way to get rid of the warnings is to cast the unused results to 
void. The _right_ way to get rid of them is to actually _do_ something with the 
results, except in cases where it _really_ doesn't matter (e.g. because you 
already errored and are just trying to clean up or output/log error messages 
before the exit(1)).
