Wrong exit code when asking for help

Details

    • 5.5.50

    Description

      Description:
      There are weird exit codes of some utilities:

      `mysql_waitpid --help` returns 255 instead of 0

      `mysqladmin --help` returns 1 instead of 0

      both of them accept 

      '--help'

      (or '-?') as valid option according to the documentation

      How to repeat:

      $> mysql_waitpid --help &>/dev/null
      		 
      $> echo $?
      		 
       
      		 
      $> mysqladmin --help &>/dev/null
      		 
      $> echo $?

      Current resutls:

      255
      		 
      1

      Expected results:

      0
      		 
      0

          Thanks for the report.

          Reasoning from MDEV-4905 does not apply here, because the non-zero code is returned even when mysqladmin --help is run with a perfectly valid set of parameters.
