Bruce noted that the use of err(), fixed to errx() in the last commit,
...
did not specify an exit code. This implies the use of either a hand-
rolled err() (Bruce's suggestion) or a random error code (my suggestion),
both of which are against the style guidelines. This commit specifies
the correct error code (implicitly). This also changes the error message
to be a little more helpful.
