The EXIT_SUCCESS
and EXIT_FAILURE
macros expand into integral expressions that can be used as arguments to the exit function (and, therefore, as the values to return from the main function), and indicate program execution status.
Constant | Explanation |
EXIT_SUCCESS
|
successful execution of a program |
EXIT_FAILURE
|
unsuccessful execution of a program |
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { FILE *fp = fopen("data.txt","r"); if (fp == NULL) { fprintf(stderr,"fopen() failed in file %s at line # %d", __FILE__,__LINE__); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* Normal processing continues here. */ fclose(fp); printf("Normal Return\n"); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
Output:
fopen() failed in file main.cpp at line # 9
