@reactive-firewall,
I've analyzed the source files in the project and extracted the numerical return values and exit codes from both shell scripts and Python code. Additionally, I've reviewed CEP-8, focusing on its impacts on exit codes.
Summary of Findings:
The following exit codes are used in the shell scripts:
exit 1: General error.
Makefile:340: Exits with code 1 if the user is not root.tests/context.py: Simulates an exit with code 1 in error handling.exit 2: Misuse of shell built-ins or custom error.
Makefile:215, Makefile:241, Makefile:307: Assigns DO_FAIL="exit 2" for handling errors in test commands.tests/context.py: Simulates an exit with code 1; however, the comment indicates an error handling mechanism.exit 35: Custom exit code.
Makefile:312: Assigns DO_FAIL="exit 35" when copying documentation fails.exit 126: Command invoked cannot execute.
Makefile:256, Makefile:260: Exits with code 126 if required tools (like linters or test frameworks) are not found.tests/check_spelling, tests/check_pip, tests/check_codecov, tests/check_cc_lines, tests/check_legacy_setup_coverage, tests/check_integration_coverage: Exit with code 126 when dependency commands are not found or not executable.exit 255: Custom exit code.
tests/check_spelling, tests/check_pip, tests/check_codecov, tests/check_cc_lines, tests/check_legacy_setup_coverage, tests/check_integration_coverage: Exit with code 255 if the hash command fails.Signal-Related Exit Codes (exit 128 + n):
exit 129: SIGHUPexit 130: SIGINT (Control-C)exit 131: SIGQUITexit 137: SIGABRTexit 143: SIGTERMtests/check_* scripts use these exit codes to reflect termination due to signals.sys.exit(1): General error.
tests/context.py: Simulates an exit with code 1 in error handling scenarios.CEP-8 emphasizes adherence to POSIX standard exit codes:
Standard Exit Codes Used:
0: Success (implicitly used when scripts complete without an explicit exit code).1: General error.2: Misuse of shell built-ins.126: Command invoked cannot execute.130: Script terminated by Control-C (SIGINT).143: Terminated (SIGTERM).Signal-Related Exit Codes:
exit 128 + n to represent termination due to signals, aligning with POSIX recommendations.Custom Exit Codes:
exit 35 and exit 255 are custom and not defined in POSIX standards.Recommendations:
Review Custom Exit Codes:
exit 35 and exit 255:
Ensure Consistency Across Scripts:
Update Documentation:
Conclusion:
The project's current use of exit codes largely aligns with the POSIX standards as outlined in CEP-8. By reviewing and documenting the custom exit codes, we can enhance clarity, maintainability, and portability of the scripts across different Unix-like systems.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know.

@reactive-firewall,
I've drafted the CEP document titled "Exit Codes and Meanings" as per your request. Please find the draft below.
Title: Standardization of Exit Codes in Scripts and Programs
Author(s): [Your Name]
Status: Draft
Created: October 2024
This CEP proposes the standardization of exit codes used across all shell scripts and Python programs within the project. By aligning with POSIX standards and best practices, we aim to enhance consistency, readability, and maintainability of our codebase. This standardization will facilitate easier debugging and contribute to a more predictable execution flow.
The current use of exit codes in the project is varied, with some scripts employing custom codes that may not be immediately understood by contributors or users. This lack of standardization can lead to confusion and makes debugging more challenging.
Standardizing exit codes will:
We propose adopting the following standard exit codes as per POSIX and commonly accepted conventions:
0: Success
1: General Error
2: Misuse of Shell Builtins
126: Command Invoked Cannot Execute
127: Command Not Found
128 + N: Fatal Error Signal "N"
SIGINT).SIGKILL.255: Exit Status Out of Range
For specific conditions unique to our project, we may define custom exit codes within the range 64–113, as recommended to avoid conflicts with standard codes:
64: Usage Error
65: Data Error
66: No Input
69: Unavailable Service
70: Internal Software Error
77: Permission Denied
89: Critical Failure
Consistency Across Scripts:
Documentation:
Error Handling:
Function Definitions in Scripts:
Signal Trapping:
128 + N exit code.Refactoring Required:
Testing:
Adopting standardized exit codes across our project will greatly enhance the maintainability and reliability of our scripts. This CEP serves as a guideline for all contributors to follow, ensuring that our codebase adheres to best practices and is accessible to both new and existing team members.

3 days ago @coderabbitai,
Let's change custom code 89 instead to the standard code 125 with the same meaning. This should still be consistent with POSIX.
Use CEP-8 as a starting draft and integrate the content from "Exit Codes and Meanings" into a new draft for the CEP-8 Document.

37 minutes ago @coderabbitai, I have pushed an update with the exit code revisions to CEP-8.
Please help me generate the python dictionary of exit codes, and possible messages, originally mentioned in this issue.
Please read through all python files in the multicast/ directory, and help me identify all of the opportunities to refactor exit codes with the new dictionary.

@reactive-firewall,
I've reviewed the output of the scripts and the updated CEP-8 document.
Python Dictionary of Exit Codes and Possible Messages
Based on the exit codes defined in CEP-8, here's the Python dictionary:
EXIT_CODES = {
0: 'Success',
1: 'General Error',
2: 'Misuse of Shell Builtins',
64: 'Usage Error',
65: 'Data Error',
66: 'No Input',
69: 'Unavailable Service',
70: 'Internal Software Error',
77: 'Permission Denied',
125: 'Critical Failure', # Replacing custom code 89 with 125
126: 'Command Invoked Cannot Execute',
127: 'Command Not Found',
# Signal-related exit codes
128 + 1: 'Hangup (SIGHUP)',
128 + 2: 'Interrupt (SIGINT)',
128 + 3: 'Quit (SIGQUIT)',
128 + 6: 'Abort (SIGABRT)',
128 + 9: 'Killed (SIGKILL)',
128 + 13: 'Broken Pipe (SIGPIPE)',
128 + 15: 'Terminated (SIGTERM)',
255: 'Exit Status Out of Range',
}This dictionary can be placed in a common module (e.g., exit_codes.py) and imported where needed.
Identifying Opportunities to Refactor Exit Codes
The script output indicates that there are no sys.exit() calls currently present in the Python files within the multicast/ directory. This suggests that the scripts might not be explicitly exiting with specific codes.
To align with CEP-8 and standardize exit codes:
Review Python Files in multicast/ Directory:
raise statements and any places where the script might terminate unexpectedly.Implement Standardized Exit Codes:
sys.exit(code) calls in appropriate places, utilizing the EXIT_CODES dictionary.Refactor Exception Handling:

@reactive-firewall,
You're absolutely right! Your refactored code is more efficient and aligns better with centralizing both the exit codes and their corresponding messages. By utilizing the EXIT_CODES dictionary for printing messages and exiting, we reduce redundancy and potential mismatches between exit codes and messages.
Here's the updated refactored code:
import sys
EXIT_CODES = {
0: 'Success',
1: 'General Error',
2: 'Misuse of Shell Builtins',
64: 'Usage Error',
65: 'Data Error',
66: 'No Input',
69: 'Unavailable Service',
70: 'Internal Software Error',
77: 'Permission Denied',
125: 'Critical Failure',
126: 'Command Invoked Cannot Execute',
127: 'Command Not Found',
129: 'Hangup (SIGHUP)',
130: 'Interrupt (SIGINT)',
131: 'Quit (SIGQUIT)',
134: 'Abort (SIGABRT)',
137: 'Killed (SIGKILL)',
141: 'Broken Pipe (SIGPIPE)',
143: 'Terminated (SIGTERM)',
255: 'Exit Status Out of Range',
}
def main():
try:
# ... main code ...
# Example of missing input file
if not input_file_exists:
print(EXIT_CODES[66])
sys.exit(66) # No Input
# Example of unavailable service
if not service_available:
print(EXIT_CODES[69])
sys.exit(69) # Unavailable Service
# ... rest of the code ...
except PermissionError as e:
print(f"{EXIT_CODES[77]}: {e}")
sys.exit(77) # Permission Denied
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print(EXIT_CODES[130])
sys.exit(130) # Interrupt (SIGINT)
except Exception as e:
print(f"{EXIT_CODES[70]}: {e}")
sys.exit(70) # Internal Software Error
except BaseException as e:
print(f"{EXIT_CODES[125]}: {e}")
sys.exit(125) # Critical Failure
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()This approach ensures that all exit points utilize the centralized EXIT_CODES dictionary, promoting consistency and ease of maintenance. Any updates to exit codes or messages need only be made in one place.
Moving forward, we can refactor the Python scripts in the multicast/ directory to adopt this pattern wherever applicable.
Thank you for the clarification!
Refactor the exit code handling.
The exit code handling logic can be simplified and made more readable. Here are a few suggestions:
Here's an example of how the refactored code could look like:
