Return codes
------------
|project_name| can exit with the following return codes (rc):
::
0 no error, normal termination
1 some error occurred (this can be a complete or a partial failure)
128+N killed by signal N (e.g. 137 == kill -9)
Note: we are aware that more distinct return codes might be useful, but it is
not clear yet which return codes should be used for which precise conditions.
See issue #61 for a discussion about that. Depending on the outcome of the
discussion there, return codes may change in future (the only thing rather sure
is that 0 will always mean some sort of success and "not 0" will always mean
some sort of warning / error / failure - but the definition of success might
change).
