Exit codes

cargo-mutants returns an exit code that can be used by scripts or CI.

• 0: Success! Every viable mutant that was tested was caught by a test.

• 1: Usage error: bad command-line arguments etc.

• 2: Found some mutants that were not covered by tests.

• 3: Some tests timed out: possibly the mutations caused an infinite loop, or the timeout is too low.

• 4: The baseline tests are already failing or hanging before any mutations are applied, so no mutations were tested.

• 5: The new side of the --in-diff diff doesn't match the text in the tree. Make sure you're using a diff from some other tree to the tree you're testing.

• 6: The --in-diff diff is not a valid diff.

• 70: Some internal error occurred.
