xfs_check exit code?

[Michael Sinz <msinz@wgate.com>]

I have been, it seems wrongly, assuming that if xfs_check finds
a problem on the disk that the exit code is non-zero.  (And,
conversely, if all is well, that the exit code is zero)

Anyway, I have, this weekend, had some problems with one of my machines.
(I have not fully diagnosed the problem so I don't want to point fingers
at XFS yet).  During the recovery process, I used my /boot recovery
script and, while xfs_check found errors, the exit code of xfs_check
was zero.  This prevented auto-recovery from working.

Is the exit code part of the defined API for xfs_check?  Could it be
part of the defined behavior?

For now I will need to check if xfs_check has any output - which is
almost as good as long as that behavior is "defined"
