If -H is the only option specified, there should be no other return 
codes if the SMART STATUS command works and returns PASSED.

In general, the return value of smartctl is a bitmask which may report 
several error conditions at once,
If the SMART STATUS command returns FAILED, bit 3 is set.

See section EXIT STATUS on smartctl man page for further details.
