Sure, but those return codes correspond to some ending state of your
application, which can occur via a normal function return, or through an
exception. In both cases, your -main function can map state to exit code.
For instance, let's assume that your application will return or except. In
example below I'm using Slingshot to handle the exceptions:
(defn -main [& args]
(try+
(apply app args) (System/exit 0)
(catch [:exit :app/bad-data] _ (System/exit 1))
(catch [:exit :app/connect-failed] _ (System/exit 2))))
Alternatively, if the app function returns the status rather than excepts:
(defn -main [& args]
(System/exit
(case (apply app args)
:app/ok 0
:app/bad-data 1
:app/connect-failed 2)))
