exit_code() [1/2]

static int32 xtd::environment::exit_code ( )

staticnoexcept

Gets the exit code of the process.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer containing the exit code. The default value is 0 (zero), which indicates that the process completed successfully.

Remarks

If the main method returns void, you can use this property to set the exit code that will be returned to the calling environment. If Main does not return void, this property is ignored. The initial value of this property is zero.

Warning

The xtd::environment::exit_code property is a signed 32-bit integer. To prevent the property from returning a negative exit code, you should not use values greater than or equal to 0x80000000.

Remarks

Use a non-zero number to indicate an error. In your application, you can define your own error codes in an enumeration, and return the appropriate error code based on the scenario. For example, return a value of 1 to indicate that the required file is not present and a value of 2 to indicate that the file is in the wrong format.
