The exit.h is useful together with error; it is clearer to write:
error (EXIT_FAILURE, 0, "Could not list tickets: %s",
shishi_strerror (rc));
than
error (1, 0, "Could not list tickets: %s",
shishi_strerror (rc));
when aborting a program.
But exit.h is GPL. It is rather short, though. Similar code is found
under LGPL in glibc's stdlb.h too. The glibc manual talk about the
define's as being 0/1 on POSIX platforms, but I couldn't find them on
www.opengroup.org's POSIX specification, though.
ChangeLog says:
2003-01-22 Bruno Haible <address@hidden>
* exit.h: New file, from GNU gettext.
Bruno, would you be willing to relicense exit.h under LGPL?
The entire exit.h included below, for illustration.
Thanks.
