$::errorCode contains error information in various cases (see the man page above); one of these cases is the exit status of the last exec or open "|..."/close pair that received an error.

All Tcl errors write to ''::errorCode'';
not only the ones from [[exec]] and [[open]].

See also [tclvars], [error], and [return].

Anyone have good programming practices for using this?
