NetBSD sakuracity 7.99.52 NetBSD 7.99.52 (CHARLOTTE) #0: Fri Dec 23 12:03:14 PST 2016 charlotte@sakuracity:/home/charlotte/devel/netbsd/sys/arch/amd64/compile/obj/CHARLOTTE amd64
>Description:
The man page for db(1) indicates that if you pass the '-q' flag then reading a nonexistent key from a hash(3) database does not result in an error. It is true that error messages are suppressed but the exit status of the command is still nonzero, which I do not believe is the intended behavior.
>How-To-Repeat:
It's as easy as
"db hash blah.db foo bar; db -q hash blah.db quux; echo $?"
>Fix:
A proposed patch is available at https://edgebsd.org/~cfkoch/patches/20170114-db-quiet.diff.txt
FWIW a whole slew of ATF tests for db(1) are on their way, too
