Editing Exit status (section)

===Windows===
[[Microsoft Windows]] uses 32-bit unsigned integers as exit codes,<ref name="ExitProcess" /><ref name="GetExitCodeProcess" /> although the command interpreter treats them as signed.<ref name="ExitCodesBig" />

Exit codes are directly referenced, for example, by the command line interpreter [[Command Prompt (Windows)|CMD.exe]] in the <code>errorlevel</code> terminology inherited from [[DOS]]. The [[.NET Framework]] processes and the [[Windows PowerShell]] refer to it as the <code>ExitCode</code> property of the <code>Process</code> object.
