Package: man-db
Version: 2.6.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The man page says 'apropos' provides useful exit codes:
# show exit codes, no blank lines.
% man apropos | grep -n -A 7 EXIT | sed '/^.*-$/d'
105:EXIT STATUS
106- 0 Successful program execution.
108- 1 Usage, syntax or configuration file error.
110- 2 Operational error.
112- 16 Nothing was found that matched the criteria specified.
So the following should return '16':
# search for a non-existent string, print exit code.
% apropos nosuchthinganywhere ; echo $?
0
For comparison, the `whatis` util does return '16':
% whatis nosuchthinganywhere ; echo $?
nosuchthinganywhere: nothing appropriate.
16
Attached is the output of:
% apropos --debug nosuchthinganywhere 2> /tmp/apropos.log
HTH...
