PATCH 1/1 lsattr: return error values

RH bug 489841 points out that lsattr doesn't return an error if you point it at a file that doesn't exist.

This is slightly trickier because it can take more than one file as an arg, but ls seems to report an error if any occurred, so this does the same, it'll report the last error that was encountered.

oops kernel on the brain, I shouldn't be exiting with the errno should I, sigh.

I'll resend :)

PATCH v2 1/1 lsattr: return error values

In reply to Eric Sandeen
