Subject: exported.sh: Improve error handling.
X-Git-Url: http://git.draconx.ca/gitweb/dxcommon.git/commitdiff_plain/84dd06463916fbf857351fbaba4ea33e1e056460?hp=2e5b48374d80959256e535bc1973f032158bde9e

exported.sh: Improve error handling.

Use the eval trick to handle errors from commands in the pipeline other
than the last.  In particular, we now detect if nm failed and return an
error status in this case.  While we're rewriting this code, replace
sort | uniq with sort -u as the latter should be fine according to
POSIX.  We can re-add the two-command version if it actually causes
problems.
