| 29 | Values aside from EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE can be used to indicate | ||
| 30 | finer gradations of failure. If this is the only information available | ||
| 31 | to the caller, clamping such values to EXIT_FAILURE loses information. | ||
| 32 | If there are other ways to indicate the problem to the caller (such as | ||
| 33 | a message to stderr) it may be ok to clamp. In all cases, it is the | ||
| 34 | relationship between the program and its caller that must be examined. | ||
