Subject: [PATCH 2/2] batctl: interface: return fail for non-existing interface
Date: Sun, 05 Jul 2026 15:04:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260705-bugfixes-interface-v1-2-64743906b3d4@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260705-bugfixes-interface-v1-0-64743906b3d4@narfation.org>

The add/del loop skips a non-existent interface name with a plain continue
and returns a success when no other error class was detected. Which causes
scripts (depending on the return value) to miss the problem.

Remember that a name could not be resolved and return EXIT_FAILURE at
the end, while still processing the remaining interfaces.
