Scriptability is the feature of any software to interact with other tools in the standard UNIX way. Some of the features which make a software scriptable are:
The following are the exit status supported by WizCrypt:
| 1 | Error in IO | Occurs when the file is not readable/writable, or the file does not exist. |
| 2 | Invalid password | Password supplied is either too short or too long. |
| 3 | Password mismatch | Wrong password is supplied. |
| 4 | Multiple exceptions | When more than one exception has happened. |
| 5 | Security Exception | When you try to run the application with J2RE1.4, or when you have supplied a small password. |
| 6 | Parse Exception | When the command line arguments are not as expected. |
| 7 | Console not available | The application expects password from console, but it is running in headless state (eg. when the application is started using cron). |
| 8 | Destination file exists | When the destination file (FILE.ext.wiz during encryption, FILE.ext during decryption) exists . When -f option is given, this exit status will not be generated. |
| 0 | Clean Exit | When the program exits without any problem after finishing its operation in the expected way. |
Note: When WizCrypt is doing an operation on a batch of files, and when it gives any one of the statuses from 1-8, it means any one or more of the files in the batch has experienced that specific problem(s).
Consider you are decrypting three files: x.wiz, y.wiz and z.wiz:
$ java -jar wizcrypt-XX-jar-with-dependencies.jar -e -p passwd x.wiz y.wiz z.wiz
If x.wiz's password is not "passwd", and y.wiz does not exist in the directory, and z.wiz gets decrypted, the program exits with code 4.
