This replaces exit(0) by exit(EXIT_SUCCESS), which makes sense because POSIX says that EXIT_SUCCESS is defined as 0. But does it always make sense to replace exit(1) by exit(EXIT_FAILURE)? POSIX does not say that EXIT_FAILURE is always 1, but it does say that some utilities are supposed to exit with exit status 1 in some cases (e.g. "grep" when no lines are selected), so wouldn't this lead to a POSIX violation in the most general case? -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org
