I was wondering...
A while ago I worked on a personal project that involved converting some
data files into images and then feeding the images as height-fields into
POV-ray. I found that the most convenient method of handling this was to
use a Makefile. So...
What if POV-ray parsed gcc-style command-line options and sources files and
reported errors/warnings in the same manner as an item in the gcc toolchain?
This would also mean (perhaps by an option) suppressing all console output
in the absence of errors.
This would greatly enhance POV-ray for batch processing, as well as allow
POV-ray to be integrated readily into many IDE's.
Is this a feature/design that is worth coming up with an unofficial patch
for? Is it something worth investigating if POV-ray 4 is open-sourced?
I'm curious as to what people think.

I'm curious as to what you mean. The way you describe it sounds
a bit like a solution that's looking for a problem. Pov already
has command line options. I still don't understand what you
mean.

He wasn't talking about command line options but proper return values
and text output (and quietness if no error happened).
Using povray in a makefile can be of great help in many applications.

Exactly.
Now I'm just wondering if this is something worth considering for POV-ray 4,
especially if it is open-sourced.

Suppressing the credits & copyright messages?
Sounds contrary to POVLegal to me.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nothing for success and specific error messages upon failure.

Well, it can be done already:
povray whatever >& /dev/null

Just a syntax query - what is the ampersand for?
Does ">&" mean send stderr (and or stdout) to outer space?

In most shells (tcsh, zsh and I think bash, but not sh) it means redirecting
both stdout and stderr (also |& can be used).
If you want to redirect only stderr it's "2>".
