Values aside from EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE can be used to indicate |
30 |
|
finer gradations of failure. If this is the only information available |
31 |
|
to the caller, clamping such values to EXIT_FAILURE loses information. |
32 |
|
If there are other ways to indicate the problem to the caller (such as |
33 |
|
a message to stderr) it may be ok to clamp. In all cases, it is the |
34 |
|
relationship between the program and its caller that must be examined. |
