That can be somewhat tricky. Standard C only defines two portable exit
statuses -- success, represented by 0 or EXIT_SUCCESS; and failure,
represented by EXIT_FAILURE. Using any other values is not portable.
On VAX/VMS, for example, exit(1) is interpreted as normal successful
completion, which is quite astonishing to people used to Unix-like
behavior.
