I had a look; ssh-keygen either exits 1 or 255 (via fatal). It's not
clear to me from reading the code what the rationale is for picking 1 or
255; what is the intended difference in meaning between these two errors
(or alternatively, how do you decide whether to call fatal or print and
error and exit(1))?

Thanks,

Matthew
