Well, this is just a utility for capturing the contents of packages, so
you can move them around. I would defer dealing with making the
exception handlers more specific until we have a reason to do so.
Most command-line utilities written in C have similar error handling:
rc = syscall(args)
if (rc < 0) {
perror("syscall failed:")
exit(EXIT_FAILURE)
}
It's not clear that we need anything more sophisticated than that for
now.
