geoipupdate return code documented incorrectly

[Troy Jendra]

The man page for geoipupdate says it returns 0 on success, 1 on error. In practise, I'm getting 1 on success.

I think the issue is to do when there is more than one dat file being updated... the return code appears to be for only the last updated file, instead of an aggregate for all files.

https://github.com/maxmind/geoipupdate/releases?q=exit+code&expanded=true shows that exit codes have been reworked, so closing this, without testing, due to age.
