Problem / Steps to reproduce

Since commit 83b603390683d49ff75b72d142b4dba4b5186d73 (main.go), I noticed a panic when killing a script, where fzf runs.

--- a/main.go
+++ b/main.go
@@ -36,5 +36,5 @@ func printScript(label string, content []byte) {

 func exit(code int, err error) {
- if err != nil {
+ if code == fzf.ExitError {
    fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err.Error())
  }

to reproduce

Run this small script in a terminal tab; the $$ is copied to your clipboard (macOS only).

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo $$ | pbcopy
: | FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="" fzf

In a second terminal tab, run the following:

kill -15 <copied_pid>

Examine the first terminal tab and notice the panic.

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference                                                            
                                                                       [signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x18 pc=0xb286143]

                                                                                                        main.main()
                                                                                                                        github.com/junegunn/fzf/main.go:81 +0x198

possible solution

Maybe check for nil or have a dedicated message for nil?

if code == fzf.ExitError && err != nil

Thanks, nice find.
