Here's an example of the way that I've done it in the past. Hope this helps.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
#
# example of executing a command with expect
# and retrieving an exit\return code
#

# set credentials
set u ""
set p ""

# set hostname
set h ""

# set command to run
set cmd "CMD 2>/dev/null"

# capture the return code from the command
set retval "echo 'Return Code: '$?"

# spawn the ssh connection, run the command,
# and retrieve the return code
spawn ssh $u@$h "$cmd;$retval"
expect "?assword*"
send -- "$p\r"
send -- "\r"
expect -re {Return Code: (\d+)}
set retval $expect_out(1,string)
expect eof

# process the return code
if {$retval != 0} {
    puts stderr "Fail"
} else {
    puts stderr "Pass"
}

PAPI_library_init(3)						       PAPI						      PAPI_library_init(3)

NAME

       PAPI_library_init -

       initialize the PAPI library.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description
       @param version
	   upon initialization, PAPI checks the argument against the internal
	   value of PAPI_VER_CURRENT when the library was compiled.
	   This guards against portability problems when updating the PAPI shared
	   libraries on your system.

       @retval PAPI_EINVAL
	   papi.h is different from the version used to compile the PAPI library.
       @retval PAPI_ENOMEM
	   Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
       @retval PAPI_ECMP
	   This component does not support the underlying hardware.
       @retval PAPI_ESYS
	   A system or C library call failed inside PAPI, see the errno variable.

       PAPI_library_init() initializes the PAPI library.
       PAPI_is_initialized() check for initialization.
       It must be called before any low level PAPI functions can be used.
       If your application is making use of threads PAPI_thread_init must also be
       called prior to making any calls to the library other than PAPI_library_init() .
       @par Examples:

       *       int retval;
       *       retval = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
       *       if (retval != PAPI_VER_CURRENT && retval > 0) {
       *	   fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch!
");
       *	   exit(1); }
       *       if (retval < 0)
       *	   handle_error(retval);
       *       retval = PAPI_is_initialized();
       *       if (retval != PAPI_LOW_LEVEL_INITED)
       *	   handle_error(retval)
       *
