Are you serious? I've seen senior programmers who thought that status < 0 means failure and status >= 0 means success. Why would anyone who understands English would need to know what the numerical value of EXIT_FAILURE is to understand that status=EXIT_FAILURE means "failure"?
Not to mention that google returns a pageful of relevant links for "EXIT_FAILURE". |
