[Bug-wget] Any explanation for the '-nc' returned value?

[Yuxi Hao]

Hi Guys,

 

The source code is:

////////////////////////

      if (opt.noclobber && file_exists_p(opt.output_document, NULL))

           {

              /* Check if output file exists; if it does, exit. */

              logprintf (LOG_VERBOSE,

                         _("File %s already there; not retrieving.\n"),

                         quote (opt.output_document));

              exit (WGET_EXIT_GENERIC_ERROR);

           }

////////////////////////

 

No explanation on it:

https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Exit-Status.html

 

I am confused on this. If it works as specified, why don’t we return succeed?

 

Best Regards,
