According to the man page: EXIT STATUS The sed utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
However, what constitutes "success" is undefined. Consider the sed command s/FOO/bar/ . Is sed "successful" is there are no instances of FOO? Or only if there is at least one instance of FOO and it is successfully replaced by bar?
