How do I get the application exit code from a Windows command line?

I have a console application. It will be executed from command prompt. It will return either 0 or 1 from main method. How can I know that what value is returned by the application?

it will return 1/0 as exit code or will write out to the console? — Marino Šimić, May 17 '11 at 11:54

Assuming you're on Windows (C# tag)

echo %errorlevel%

If you're on Unix, it's `echo $?`. – DevSolar May 17 '11 at 12:14

If you run the command line app with the Process class in C#:

if you look for the exitcode: process.ExitCode
if you need to read what the app has written to the console: process.StandardError.ReadToEnd() or process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

If you need this in C++ since you gave that TAG too, I cannot help you much.

You should choose one of those tags, or have you put unrelated tags into the question?
