Yeah, or alternatively, fix it instead, which is what I've proposed to do.

>there are no distinguished exit codes

Then document that, else people will just keep asking.

The reason for this would be that there are no distinguished exit codes, so not much to document. See bug 23348. It's not precisely the same issue, but I'm marking this as a dupe of that one, since it makes no sense until there actually are exit statuses worth bothering with.

Hello,

a documentation request: http://bugs.debian.org/179710

--8<--
most man pages have a clearly marked RETURN VALUES etc section. on
wget's man page one can't readily find out what the shell's $? will
get set to.

The Info pages also seem not to present this information nor do i see it readily in the Info index.
--8<--

thx.

Regards

Noèl
