Both variations can be enabled at once. + +#### Exit code + +Passing `--check` will make _Black_ exit with: + +- code 0 if nothing would change; +- code 1 if some files would be reformatted; or +- code 123 if there was an internal error + +```console +$ black test.py --check +All done! ✨ 🍰 ✨ +1 file would be left unchanged. +$ echo $? +0 + +$ black test.py --check +would reformat test.py +Oh no! 💥 💔 💥 +1 file would be reformatted. +$ echo $? +1 + +$ black test.py --check +error: cannot format test.py: INTERNAL ERROR: Black produced code that is not equivalent to the source.
