`exitstatus` provides expressive, portable definitions for the
[standard POSIX exit codes](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Exit-Status.html).
While Python does provide some Unix-specific exit status codes in the
[`os` module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os._exit), they are not portable to
all platforms and are missing the generic failure case.

## Installation

You can add `exitstatus` to your project with `uv` using:

```bash
uv add exitstatus
```

## Usage

Exit status codes are defined in a simple to use
[`IntEnum`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#enum.IntEnum).

```python
import sys
from exitstatus import ExitStatus

sys.exit(ExitStatus.success)
```

exitstatus
