I have a check in my program to see if the user supplies the right amount of command line arguments. If they do not, I print a usage message and then exit the program.
However I’m not sure if I should exit with EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE – it appears that they both have some merit in terms of their english meaning. Is there an important distinction? What should I do?
I personally use
EXIT_FAILURE, since it’s not a normal usage of your program.
