Although it is technically possible to rely on a failed value zero, I
suppose it is very unexpected. I expect current users only grep the
output of rtla.
I think adding a new command line argument is overcomplicated. Adding
a new command-line argument for this seems unnecessarily complex, and
I'm not aware of any Linux/POSIX tools that offer such an option.
