Linux Ethernet Bridging - Apr 2007 - [Bridge] brctl returns 0 on error

Hi,

"brctl" returns 0 when trying to delete non-existent bridge. If it 
returns 0, scripting will be an headache. It should return different than 0.

# brctl delbr geek
bridge geek doesn't exist; can't delete it
# echo $?
0

Thanks.

That is true for old versions of the bridge utilities.
