It provides three main functions: extracting the correct system exit code from an exception (including Windows winerror codes), printing exception messages with optional traceback to stderr, and flushing output streams to ensure output appears in the correct order before exit.\n\nThe package is designed to integrate into the exception handler of a click-based CLI application or any other command-line tool. It handles platform differences (Windows, Linux, macOS) transparently and works with exceptions that carry subprocess stdout/stderr attributes. The library has no external dependencies beyond click and lib-detect-testenv, making it lightweight to add to existing projects.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is lightweight, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem in CLI development\u2014proper exception handling and stream flushing are easy to get wrong and this library handles the platform-specific details. Install it if you're building a CLI tool with click or similar frameworks and want reliable, correct exit behavior."},"id":"cli-exit-tools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cli-exit-tools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cli-exit-tools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cli-exit-tools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cli-exit-tools","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"functions to exit an cli application properly"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2536130,"position":3015,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.7"}
