Exit Code
An exit code is a numeric result returned by a process to its caller. Zero conventionally indicates success, while nonzero meanings depend on the program and shell; workflow rules determine whether the result fails a step.
Also known as: exit status
Why it matters
Process results connect shell commands to workflow success and failure decisions.
Practical example
Preserve a command's exit status when piping its output through a logging tool.
