Fix uninitialized character pointers, and functions that return undefined values. These issues were caught by running clang using LLVM=1 option; and are as follows: -- ovpn-cli.c:1587:6: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] 1587 | if (!sock) { | ^~~~~ ovpn-cli.c:1635:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here 1635 | return ret; | ^~~ ovpn-cli.c:1587:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false 1587 | if (!sock) { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ 1588 | fprintf(stderr, "cannot allocate netlink socket\n"); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1589 | goto err_free; | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1590 | } | ~ ovpn-cli.c:1584:15: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning 1584 | int mcid, ret; | ^ | = 0 ovpn-cli.c:2107:7: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever switch case is taken [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] 2107 | case CMD_INVALID: | ^~~~~~~~~~~ ovpn-cli.c:2111:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here 2111 | return ret; | ^~~ ovpn-cli.c:1939:12: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning 1939 | int n, ret; | ^

These two look legitimate.

-- txtimestamp.c:240:2: warning: variable 'tsname' is used uninitialized whenever switch default is taken [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] 240 | default:

Does not need a fix. The default statement calls error() which exits the program.

Same.

Since reason is a string that's printed, better to initialize it to a string. Preferably in the case statement, e.g., "unknown errno".
