Running
gh-ost
with--check-flag
is a way of testing for existence of other flags. You may be using different versions ofgh-ost
, possibly testing a new version that has a new feature. It's now possible to validate thatgh-ost
supports a flag.Running with
--check-flag
doesn't actually do anything. The app terminates immediately, with:0
if all flags are good (flags that normally require a value must get such value)1
if one or more flags are not recognized, or are missing a value.Examples:
Returning exit code 0
gh-ost --check-flag --initially-drop-socket-file
gh-ost --check-flag --initially-drop-socket-file --nice-ratio 0
Returning nonzero exit code
gh-ost --check-flag --no-such-flag
gh-ost --check-flag --initially-drop-socket-file --nice-ratio
