[PATCH v4] send-email: prompt-dependent exit codes

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

 



>From the perspective of a scripted caller, failure to send (some) mails
is an error even if it was interactively requested, so it should be
indicated by a non-zero exit code.

This is technically a backwards-incompatible behavior change, and
therefore would be safer to make opt-in. However, the damage resulting
from reporting the situation too eagerly is expected to be trivial,
while the damage resulting from callers failing to opt-in (which is
obviously the status quo, and is likely to persist in most cases) is
potentially at least somewhat serious.

For interactive calls from the command line, interactive cancellation is
arguably not really an error, but a human user will be able to interpret
the somewhat unusual exit code in light of their immediately preceding
interactions just fine.

v4:
- add tests (which also cover the partial confirmation behavior in the
  first place)
- add docu
- rework commit message again
v3:
- use a tally instead of flags after all, as my seemingly simple idea
  apparently requires lots of thinking to grasp fully
- correct exit code when zero messages are to be sent. this cannot
  actually happen, as it induces an exit via usage() earlier on.
- unfold nested ternary to save junio's sanity (who proved his point by
  unfolding it slightly incorrectly)
- expand commit message
v2:
- fix do_quit() not resetting $sent_all
