Do macOS Terminal commands offer acknowledgement?

(In Windows, command prompt you will often get some form of acknowledgement that the command has been accepted or rejected by the computer)

 

[BrianBaughn]

Errors or problems are reported. Successful actions just bring you back to the prompt.

In general, a successful command in a computer that's unix based, like a Mac, will just return you to the command prompt if the command completed properly. This behavior can vary, depending on the command, however.
