Well, it seems there are only a couple of places where error() is followed
by exit():
$ git grep -FA2 'error (' | grep -F 'exit ('
src/id.c- exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
src/ptx.c- exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
src/seq.c- exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
src/shred.c- atexit (clear_random_data);
src/sort.c- exit (SORT_FAILURE);
src/test.c- test_exit (TEST_FAILURE);
src/whoami.c- exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
Therefore, I'd leave it more explicitly and readable rather than
inventing another wrapper to remember.
Have a nice day,
