I have thought that, if the unix command's author doesn't return a 0
from the code, how will we get the result of a system command was
executed successfully or not?

ie, maybe the ppl can return 1 or any other value except 0 from the
code:

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

main () {
    printf("hello world");
    return 1;
}


When I complied it and run it:

$ ./test    
hello world

then get the value of $?:

$ echo $?
1

It's 1 not 0. 
How do you think about this case? :)

Best Regards,
Jeff (joy) Peng
