A simple python wrapper around the FreeBSD "preferable exit codes for programs".
It is useful for getting informative error messages from subprocesses which use FreeBSD-recommended exit codes (linked above).
Either select an exception manually using the EXCEPTIONS dictionary, or call
raise_for_returncode with the completed process.
import subprocess
import sysexits
print(sysexits.EX_PROTOCOL)
# 76
process = subprocess.run("exit 76", shell=True)
print(sysexits.EXCEPTIONS[process.returncode])
# <class 'sysexits.ProtocolError'>
sysexits.raise_for_returncode(process)
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# ...
# sysexits.ProtocolErrorCopyright (c) 2022 Christopher McDonald
