In process there is a suspicious options |= EXIT_STATUS_EXACT that is run when the jq script is terminated by halt, or halt_error. That line of code acutally does nothing because options is a local argument variable, and is not passed as a pointer. It was probably meant to be a *options |= EXIT_STATUS_EXACT with the options argument passed as a int*. In any case, we do not want to run the code in main() that was supposed to run if EXIT_STATUS_EXACT is set (but didn't since it is never added to options); as far as I can tell, we only want to run that code when the --exit-status/-e option is passed. So I removed EXIT_STATUS_EXACT completely, and the useless assignment, instead of fixing it since it was not used for anything else. Useless assignment detected by clang-tidy.
jq
jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor akin tosed,awk,grep, and friends for JSON data. It's written in portable C and has zero runtime dependencies, allowing you to easily slice, filter, map, and transform structured data.

Building from source
Dependencies
- libtool
- make
- automake
- autoconf
Instructions
git submodule update --init # if building from git to get oniguruma
autoreconf -i # if building from git
./configure --with-oniguruma=builtin
make -j8
make check
sudo make install
Build a statically linked version:
make LDFLAGS=-all-static
If you're not using the latest git version but instead building a released tarball (available on the release page), skip the autoreconf step, and flex or bison won't be needed.
