It does, but the cut at the end of the pipeline swallows it’s exit status
We can still get that though…
$ dig +noall +answer dave.knig.ht in a | egrep 'IN\tA\t' | cut -f6
216.235.14.46
$ echo ${PIPESTATUS[1]}
0
$ dig +noall +answer hopefully.this.does.not.exist in a | egrep 'IN\tA\t' | cut
-f6
$ echo ${PIPESTATUS[1]}
1
That is if you’re using bash of course…
