Exit Codes & Exceptions
=======================
Normal processes exit with exit code 0. This can be seen from
:attr:`RunningCommand.exit_code`:
.. code-block:: python
output = ls("/", _return_cmd=True)
print(output.exit_code) # should be 0
If a process terminates, and the exit code is not 0, an exception is generated
dynamically. This lets you catch a specific return code, or catch all error
return codes through the base class :class:`ErrorReturnCode`:
.. code-block:: python
try:
print(ls("/some/non-existant/folder"))
except ErrorReturnCode_2:
print("folder doesn't exist!")
create_the_folder()
except ErrorReturnCode:
print("unknown error")
You can also customize which exit codes indicate an error with :ref:`ok_code`. For example:
.. code-block:: python
for i in range(10):
sh.grep("string to check", f"file_{i}.txt", _ok_code=(0, 1))
where the :ref:`ok_code` makes a failure to find a match a no-op.
Signals
-------
Signals are raised whenever your process terminates from a signal. The
exception raised in this situation is :ref:`signal_exc`, which subclasses
:ref:`error_return_code`.
.. code-block:: python
try:
p = sh.sleep(3, _bg=True)
p.kill()
except sh.SignalException_SIGKILL:
print("killed")
.. note::
You can catch :ref:`signal_exc` by using either a number or a signal name.
For example, the following two exception classes are equivalent:
.. code-block:: python
assert sh.SignalException_SIGKILL == sh.SignalException_9
