>Description:
fetch(1) manual page states that fetch(1) exits with status zero or one:
EXIT STATUS
The fetch command returns zero on success, or one on failure. If multi-
ple URLs are listed on the command line, fetch will attempt to retrieve
each one of them in turn, and will return zero only if they were all suc-
cessfully retrieved.
However it's possible that it exits with status other than zero or one:
$ fetch -h foo
usage: fetch [-146AFMPRUadlmnpqrsv] [-N netrc] [-o outputfile]
[-S bytes] [-B bytes] [-T seconds] [-w seconds]
[-h host -f file [-c dir] | URL ...]
$ echo $?
64
