Problem
It will be useful to pass the return value of the openstack command into the shell, not only on text but as a value that can be directly queried by other scripts.
$ fedcloud openstack volume show test-volume2 --site ... --vo ...
Site: ..., command: volume show test-volume2
Error code: 1
Error message: No volume with a name or ID of 'test-volume2' exists.
$ echo $?
0
This can apply to any other command that is called by fedcloudclient
Solution
Return the value / error code obtained from the openstack operation. In the example: 1.
Alternatives
Return an error code specific for fedcloud if the executed command fails.
For example, a code error of 100 + the error code returned by the command. In the example: 101.
This way it can be distinguished between specific fedcloudclient errors and 3rd party errors.
Note: 100 is just an example used for clarity, it could be 20 instead. Consider that there is a limited number of return codes that can be used (so the sum could be longer than this limit) and there are some reserved codes.
