Dell 32XX, 34XX, 38XX, 36XX manual Exit Status

•The CLI automatically saves the error data by writing the data to a file with a standard name.

•The CLI does not have any provisions to avoid overwriting an existing version of the file containing error data.

For error processing, errors appear as two types:

•Parameter or syntax errors you might enter

•Exceptions that occur as a result of an operational error

When the CLI encounters either type of error, it writes information describing the error directly to the command line and sets a return code. Depending on the return code, the CLI might also write additional information about which parameter caused the error. The CLI also writes information about what command syntax was expected to help you identify any syntax errors you might have entered.

When an exception occurs while executing a command, the CLI automatically saves the error information to a file named excprpt.txt. The CLI attempts to place excprpt.txt in the directory specified by the system property devmgr.datadir, which by default is the "client/data" directory under the main installation directory in Windows and the /var/opt/SM directory in Linux. If for any reason the CLI cannot place the file in the devmgr.datadir-specified directory, the CLI saves the excprpt.txt file in the same directory from which the CLI is running. You cannot change the file name or location. The excprpt.txt file is overwritten every time an exception occurs. To save the information in the excprpt.txt file, you must copy the information to a new file or directory.
