# Nagios::Plugin::ExitResult(3pm)

Helper class for returning both output and return codes when testing.

## NAME

Nagios::Plugin::ExitResult - Helper class for returning both output and  return codes when testing.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Test::More;
    use Nagios::Plugin::Functions;
    # In a test file somewhere
    Nagios::Plugin::Functions::_fake_exit(1);
    # Later ...
    $e = nagios_exit( CRITICAL, 'aiiii ...' );
    print $e->message;
    print $e->return_code;
    # NP::ExitResult also stringifies to the message output
    like(nagios_exit( WARNING, 'foobar'), qr/^foo/, 'matches!');
```

## DESCRIPTION

Nagios::Plugin::ExitResult is a tiny helper class intended for use  when testing other Nagios::Plugin modules. A Nagios::Plugin::ExitResult  object is returned by *nagios\_exit()* and friends when  Nagios::Plugin::Functions::\_fake\_exit has been set, instead of doing a  conventional print + exit.
