Exit codes.

Rate this Message:
I've noticed that AsciiDoc has only two possible exit codes: 0 and 1.
I've been working on a mechanism to check the validity of submitted asciidoc files, and I'd like to be able to distinguish -using exit codes- between an input file that either: - has no problems - raises warnings - raises errors - causes asciidoc to fail. -- Miguel Farah miguel@... _______________________________________________ asciidoc-discuss mailing list asciidoc-discuss@... http://lists.metaperl.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asciidoc-discuss |

Warnings do not currently generate a non-zero exit code, this would introduce compatibility problems for scripts that run asciidoc and test for a non-zero exit cod, they would now fail if there were any warnings where previously they did not.

I noticed that, too. Perhaps there could be an option to have "regular" exit codes or "strict" exit codes (does that make any sense?). -- Miguel Farah miguel@... _______________________________________________ asciidoc-discuss mailing list asciidoc-discuss@... http://lists.metaperl.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asciidoc-discuss |

You're right.
