I want to exit a library (because of zero records in an input fle) but I want all dependant libraries outside of that to still run,. ie. I want to keep the clocks connected

ie I want to achive following psuedo code

if no records, exit library, and avoid remaning nodes in that library

If I understand you correctly, you want to look at the function
setSuccessReturnCode...and specifically, you want to look at returning 203, I believe.

From the online manual for setSuccessReturnCode for returning 203:

Any nodes wired to the output will not execute, but any nodes wired to this node's outclock, or any of the outclocks of any nodes wired to this node's output will trigger. This behavior allows for this node to prevent other nodes from executing on the data, but to allow nodes clocked to a higher composite to still execute as if all nodes were executed.

Thanks, that 203 option sounds good, how do I test for zero records on an input to a noide, ideally a filter

If that is all you want to do, you should use the node Meta Check, which is in the Metadata category of core. It has options for testing minimum and maximum record counts, and can also be configured to error, or cause clocked nodes to fire, etc...(similar behavior to what the setSuccessReturnCode behaviors are).
