[PATCH] t0005: work around strange $? in ksh when program terminated by a signal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@xxxxxxxx>

ksh is known to report $? of programs that terminated by a signal as
256 + signal number instead of 128 + signal number like other POSIX
compliant shells. (ksh's behavior is still POSIX compliant in this regard.)

ksh is not wrong, just strange. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_08_02 (last sentence).
