auditctl exit code

[Stephen Quinney <squinney@inf.ed.ac.uk>]

I am using Linux Audit version 2.1.3 and I'm wondering if the
following behaviour of auditctl is intentional. When I do a complete
list of the current rules (with auditctl -l) I get an exit code of
zero, as expected. When I do a list which is restricted to a
particular key (auditctl -l -k foo) I get 255. It doesn't matter which
of my keys I use and there are no error messages sent to stderr to
indicate a problem. The auditctl manpage doesn't say what various exit
values mean so I'm not sure what type of error is occurring.
