GCC has a feature which warns about uninitialized variables. Those
features are there to help prevent bugs. You are turning the feature
off here by initializing it with a bogus value. Don't do that.

Just return directly. Don't introduce do-nothing gotos to lead the
reader through a series of pointless goto hops.
The goto label is poorly chosen. Label names should be based on the
thing which they do. "close_err" implies that something is closed but
that's not the case, the label doesn't do anything.
