Heh:
static int cmd_defrag(int argc, char **argv)
{
<snip>
if (errors) {
fprintf(stderr, "total %d failures\n", errors);
exit(1);
}
return errors + 20;
}
what the . . . It's the only command in the file that adds
some random number to the 0 success return. I have no idea
what that could possibly be for.
Unless someone can document & explain the rationale for all these crazy
error values I think they need to be ripped out & sanitized.
For scripting I suppose I'd say "0 or 20 is OK"
