Steven, thanks for the info! Just from frequent usage of wget (and
not from examining the code) I have come to think of the exit values
like this:
0: -I have never seen this one -
1: communication failures
2: option/syntax related problems
Can you glean from the code what would cause an exit value 0?

So, can I take this to mean that 'wget exited with value 2' always
indicates a problem with switches/options?
No bets, but a search through the code for "exit" suggests that
that's approximately true, if you count a problem reading or
interpreting ".wgetrc" as a problem with switches/options,
Where can I get a full list of exit values and what they indicate?
I know of none. Skimming the "exit" search results suggests that
your choices may be limited to 0, 1, and 2. (From which one might
deduce that the designer was not a fan of AIX or VMS, where error
messages and/or exit status values tend to be more informative.)
