STRTOXX_EXIT_CODE is not used in blkid.c. Remove it?
... or if it used in strutils.h, then this is not a nice interface.

These are not exit() codes, but return codes. That value doesn't seem
to be of much interest anyway, because it's used only here in main()
in a for-loop, forgetting the return value of the previous iteration:

               for (i = 0; i < numdev; i++)
                        err = lowprobe_device(pr, devices[i], lowprobe, show,
                                        output_format,
                                        (blkid_loff_t) offset,
                                        (blkid_loff_t) size);

Have a nice day,
Berny

Yep, it is used in strutils.h.

Strictly speaking, yes. But the idea is that those codes are (or
rather should be) propagated as exit value anyways...

Hmm, the return value depends only on the last argument (device). I
don't think this is intentional. Karel?

        # blkid -p /dev/sda /dev/sdb ; echo $?
        /dev/sda: PTTYPE="gpt" 
        error: /dev/sdb: No such file or directory
        2
        
        # blkid -p /dev/sdb /dev/sda ; echo $?
        error: /dev/sdb: No such file or directory
        /dev/sda: PTTYPE="gpt"

 Fortunately, STRTOXX_EXIT_CODE is rarely used (default is EXIT_FAILURE).

 It would be better to break the loop and exit after first error.

Then we can already exit() from lowprobe_device(),
and thus BLKID_EXIT_* will have become pure "exit codes" ... ;-)

[PATCH] blkid: stop device probing if error is detected

[Petr Uzel]

blkid -p dev1 dev2 [...] now stops upon first error detected and
returns correct value. Previously, if error was detected with dev1,
it continued with dev2 anyways and so the return value corresponded
to the last device only.
