How to get the application exit code from a Windows command line?

I am running a program and would like to see what its return code is (since it returns different codes based on different errors).

I know in Bash I can do this by running



echo $?

What to do when using cmd.exe on Windows?

command-line windows

A pseudo environment variable named errorlevel stores the exit code:

echo Exit Code is %errorlevel%

Also, the if command has a special syntax:

if errorlevel
