[omake] How to capture both stdout and return code of shell command?

Thanks Gerd, I will do that for now. Creating a temporary file with omake’s tmpfile seems easy enough so I will do that.

There is nothing at hand. Just read a little bit through the source  
code:  

If you call $(shell) or $(shella), this goes straightly to  
Omake_rule.eval_shell_output, which is calling eval_shell_exp. If the  
exit code is not zero, an exception is raised. However, the exception is  
just a generic one, and does not include the exit code in a way you can  
use from omake code.  

If you call $(shell-code) the exception from eval_shell_exp is  
suppressed, and the code is returned.  

Another observation is that eval_shell_output simply creates a temporary  
file and saves the command output there. There seems to be no way to  
directly read into a buffer.  

So, I'd say the way to go (for the time being) is to create a temp file  
and redirect into this while using $(shell-code) to run the whole thing.
