I don't know about pkg_add return codes but what you are currently looking is the return code of doas which return >0 in those cases as explained in doas(1): • The config file /etc/doas.conf could not be parsed. • The user attempted to run a command which is not permitted. • The password was incorrect. • The specified command was not found or is not executable.
