Details:
If, by mistake, you try and upload a none Intel Hex file with a command such
as
/usr/bin/avrdude -DV -p atmega328p -P /dev/ttyACM0 -c stk500v1 -b 9600 -U
flash:w:Blink.ino:i
(i.e. trying to upload a source file instead of the compiled HEX file) avrdude
reports a warning rather than an error
WARNING: no end of file record found for Intel Hex file "Blink.ino"
and doesn't upload any bytes. The process, however, exits with a 0 return
value, i.e. success. Given that the command hasn't done anything, and
certainly hasn't done what you asked it to I think avrdude should exit with an
error code (probaly 1 the same as if the file is missing). This would make it
easier to respond to errors when using avrdude from within a script or
Makefile.
