OMAKE Guide, Release 2002.05.00, Windows

Appendix B Exit Status Values

omake controls the execution of other programs, and the memory that omake itself uses is unavailable to these programs while omake is controlling them. When omake exits, it returns an exit status indicating the termination reason. The exit status can be tested by the command shell or, if you are doing a recursive make, by omake itself. The exit status can also be accessed in the .AFTER special target with the MAKESTATUS macro. For example:

.AFTER : %if $(MAKESTATUS) == 3 %echo omake: The final build script exited with status: $(status) %endif

Table 20 lists exit values and their meanings.
