Error Messages: What does Code mean?

[RichardLitt]

When using the CLI API, I am frequently getting error messages.

Example:

{
  "Message": "This command can't be called directly. Try one of its subcommands.",
  "Code": 1
}

What does Code mean?
Why are some messages only text (ex: Argument 'root' is required, while some messages formatted like the above?

i'm not really sure how all this works to be honest, but i think that the code signifies that the exit status of the cli should be 1

Who would know?

@Kubuxu Do you know?

I feel this might be a duplicate issue - I remember talking about it somewhere other than here.

Code 1 signifies that the CLI should return an exit code of 1 (and similarly 0 for code 0)

I know what this means now.
