Re: [Bug-wget] exit status problem with pipe

[Darshit Shah]

This is difficult to do correctly for network applications. Is there any
particular reason you're looking for identifying if Wget was killed by SIGPIPE?

The problem here is that a closed socket will also result in a SIGPIPE on unix
systems. But in such a case, we don't want to kill the application. As a
result, we simply ignore the SIGPIPE handler. So when Wget dies in the command
you shared, its not really killed by SIGPIPE. Hence, in theory, it would be
incorrect for Wget to exit with a code of 141.
