https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/testing.html could be improved by mentioning echo %errorlevel% for use in Windows. Perhaps an appendix for Windows?

I don't want to suggest that Windows people are second-class by putting it in an appendix, so this should just be in the regular docs.

This is the return value of a program, yes? What's some good docs on what %errorlevel% is? I don't use windows that much myself.

I cannot find any direct msdn documentation on %errorlevel% although I can find Microsoft blog posts that refer to it.

Official MS documentation: https://web.archive.org/web/20140205211715/http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds_shelloverview.mspx . Apparently Microsoft decided to delete all references to cmd.exe from the official documentation.
