Dear Maintainer,

please document the Exit Codes of iwgetid. For example, if the
wireless network is not connected then iwgetid returns the exit code
255:

# sudo iwgetid -r
# echo $?
255

Are there more?

Thank you for maintainting wireless-tools!

Regards,

Hello Darshaka,
I intend to NMU wireless-tools, fixing some man page
related problems. If you can provide me the missing list of exit codes
during February 2026, I can update iwgetid.8 accordingly.

Thanks for your support.
