@eropple/exit-codes

I am not, by trade, a heckin' cool, plaid-wearing black-rimmed-glassesman of a NodeJS developer†. I spend a lot of my time toiling in the bowels of the computer universe and so I have a certain appreciation--nay, fondness--for doing things in a way that the older, wiser, and oh god have you seen a C program lately-er code running underneath my code can comprehend.

Then I couldn't find an exit codes package for NodeJS (whether due to my own incompetence) or its fundamental nonexistence) and, I tell you this with absolutely no exaggeration whatsoever: a literal exclamation point sprouted from the top of my head as if I was a mook about to get my neck broke in a Metal Gear Solid video game auteured by one Mr. Hideo Kojima.

So I broke out a Ruby interpreter to YOLO out some TypeScript, breaking laws in at least seven jurisdictions I have personally been to in my life, and the results are what lie before you.

Installation

I trust that you know how to install a package named @eropple/exit-codes with your package manager of choice. I apologize for the scoped name; NPM in their infinite wisdom (have you set your stuff on fire today, guys?) decided that exit-codes is not an acceptable name when exit-code exists.

I trust you will be gratified by stomping my name into your codebase. You're welcome.

Usage

import the package. Pass its sweet, sweet constants to process.exit(). Be smug about your correct UNIXing. Or Linuxing, should you be integrating with systemd.

While this is Open Source and Free Software and so I cannot demand your smugness, I can but humbly request it.

† - At this moment I am wearing plaid, but am not wearing black-rimmed glasses because yesterday my monstrously strong but very peaceable dog, in his excitement at the idea of An Treat, delivered unto the temple of my head a headbutt strong enough to snap an acetate frame. I was not even angry. I could only compliment him. And pet his head, for he was very concerned that I was missing a part of my face.
