I believe the return val of KUNCExecute is whether the execute
succeeded or not, not the return value of the binary being executed.
So 0 would be correct - no error executing your binary.
I also believe Apple has stated the KUNC functions are not the way
forward (IOW, they may disappear). Your best solution would be to have
a userland program pass this value to your KEXT via a more supported
(and efficient) means. There are many ways to achieve this: IOKit
UserClient, BSD sockets or ioctl's, and mach ports or shared memory.

Hi,
I am developing a KEXT which requires the power source, now i have
done lots of study into finding a way to access the power source
information but there seems to be no obvious way for a KEXT to
access this data.
Then it came to me, why not use a secondary binary which is ever so
simple and all it does is return the value of the power source in a
error code of the binary (10 for AC etc)
However i can not work out how to retrieve the return value all i
get is 0
kern_return_t ret;
ret = KUNCExecute("/Users/jamesas/Projects/Build/Release/
PowerSource" , kOpenAppAsRoot, kOpenApplicationPath);
IOLog ("KUNC: %d", ret);
