The mysqlbackup command print-message takes an exit code supplied with the --error-code option and returns the corresponding exit message in the stdout stream. Users can, for example, use a script to catch the exit code returned by mysqlbackup, and then pass it onto the print-message command to obtain an exit message. See the description for print-message for details.
