exit-with

Exit with code, stdio & stderr

Overview

Minimalistic command-line utility that terminates immediately after starting, while controlling the exit code, standard output (stdout) message and standard error (stderr) message in a single invocation.

Usage

exit-with [code] [msg-1] [msg-2] 

• code - optional exit code, default is 0 (zero).
• msg-1 - optional message printed to:
  • stdout when code is zero,
  • stderr when code is nonzero.
• msg-2 - optional message printed to:
  • stderr when code is zero,
  • stdout when code is nonzero.

Important

Please note, that the destination where msg-1 and msg-2 are printed depends on the value of code.

Tip

Because of the specific usage of this application, the only outputs are an exit code, a stdout message, and a stderr message. There are no additional options such as displaying version information, displaying help text, or handling invalid arguments with error messages.
