.SH EXIT STATUS
Scrut prints a debug message and exits unsuccessfully with the appropriate
sysexits.h(3) error code if invoked incorrectly. Scrut exits successfully if
the given files comply with their requirements and unsuccessfully otherwise.
.SH STANDARDS
Scrut is nearly compatible with POSIX's test utility though it is narrower in
scope. Notably, the
.B -h
option is now invalid and therefore shows usage information instead of being an
alias to the modern
.B -L
option.
