Description Mike Hommey 2006-08-26 10:19:41 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When there is a problem while writing the output file (out of space, permission denied, whatever), xsltproc doesn't return any error code.

Steps to reproduce:
1. run xsltproc -o /nonexistingdir/output.xml anxsl.xsl anxml.xml
2. echo $?


Actual results:
the value returned is 0

Expected results:
we'd expect some error code

Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I am going to attach a patch to introduce error code 11 for output error.

Note that 2 kinds of error bring an error type 9, which is "Internal processing error", but should return this new type 11 :
- set the output file to somewhere you can't create directories (like /test/test while not root ; /test gives error 11)
- some write error (out of space, etc.) when writing with the <xsl:document/> element.
