$::errorCode contains the exit status of the last exec or open "|..."/close pair that occured in the application.

Sorry, but that's just false.  All Tcl errors write to ''::errorCode'';
not only the ones from [[exec]] and [[open]].

See tclvars(n), error(n), and return(n).

Anyone have good programming practices for using this?
