Just on this part: There was already a logic error in the pre-image
where we'd return error() return values up to cmd_main() et al. This
means that (on POSIX) we return 255, not 1, per the C standard doing
this is "implementation defined".

I think you want the "rc" variable back, and either in another commit or
in some other cleanup this on top or ahead of this patch:
