doas(1) currently states:
-clip-
EXIT STATUS
The doas utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. It may
fail for one of the following reasons:
o The config file /etc/doas.conf could not be parsed.
o The user attempted to run a command which is not permitted.
o The password was incorrect.
o The specified command was not found or is not executable.
-clip-
This is incorrect, doas returns the exit status of command as in:
-clip-
$ doas false && echo "was true"
-no output-
$ doas true && echo "was true"
was true
-clip-
Manpage amended, to be like nice(1).
