[PATCH 0/6] script(1) cleanups, -e to pass through exit code



Hi!

script(1) always exits 0 if it's successful. This can be worked around,
of course, but at least a flag enabling this is semi-ubiquitous among
other implementations (util-linux has -e, FreeBSD always passes the exit
status through and accepts a no-op -e, OpenBSD tried and failed to
implement this, patches pending to fix it).

I haven't figured out how to make less than a big blob via CVS,
so this patchset originates from a git import of the latest
src/usr.bin/script/ directory.

1-3/6 are misc. cleanups I noticed when implementing this.

I tried to make these as small and atomic as possible;
there are, of course, ways to meld them together if you'd rather
them be bigger; it's possible, also, that you'd prefer passthrough
to happen always: in this case 5/6 needs to be dropped and 6/6 reworded.

Best,

наб (6):
  script.c: fix usage string
  script.c: use sh -c directly instead of system(3)
  script.1: clarify that -c runs the argument via sh -c
  script.c: exit with the exit code of the child
  script.c: gate child exit code on -e flag
  script.1: note -e flag
