nit: other descriptions start with lower case letter, so to be
consistent, this should too

nit: this can be static

errno is no longer valid after calling perror(). Since this
is example code, we can just return 1 instead (exit codes
positive number between 0 and 255 so -1 would be 255).

Aren't the Count 0 and Count 1 events independent? Why should we expect to
always get both events at the same time in the same order?
