I don't get what you mean here, but $? is probably what you are
looking for.

Normally, you don't have to do that. Most of the time,

filter1 < infile | filter2 | filter3 > outfile

is all that you will require. So be more explicit, and I am sure
someone here (or more appropriately, on LIP) will come up with a
better solution.

fup2 LIP, please.
