This API is weird, why are you returning an int when neither of the
successful values are int and can potentially overflow an int?  You're
returning the length of an allocated string, size_t is the appropriate
type.

I don't like clearing pm_errno without a good reason.  It generally
doesn't serve any purpose and can get us into trouble if a function
gets called during cleanup somewhere.

You need to check for and handle failure.

Same as above.
