exit

EXIT(P) 						     POSIX Programmer's Manual							   EXIT(P)

NAME

       exit - cause the shell to exit

SYNOPSIS

       exit [n]

DESCRIPTION

       The  exit  utility  shall cause the shell to exit with the exit status specified by the unsigned decimal integer n.  If n is specified, but
       its value is not between 0 and 255 inclusively, the exit status is undefined.

       A trap on EXIT shall be executed before the shell terminates, except when the exit utility is invoked in that trap itself,  in  which  case
       the shell shall exit immediately.

OPTIONS

       None.

OPERANDS

       See the DESCRIPTION.

STDIN

       Not used.

INPUT FILES

       None.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       None.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

       Default.

STDOUT

       Not used.

STDERR

       The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES

       None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       None.

EXIT STATUS

       The  exit status shall be n, if specified. Otherwise, the value shall be the exit value of the last command executed, or zero if no command
       was executed. When exit is executed in a trap action, the last command is considered to be the command that executed immediately  preceding
       the trap action.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

       Default.

       The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

EXAMPLES

       Exit with a true value:

	      exit 0

       Exit with a false value:

	      exit 1

RATIONALE

       As  explained in other sections, certain exit status values have been reserved for special uses and should be used by applications only for
       those purposes:

	126   A file to be executed was found, but it was not an executable utility.

	127   A utility to be executed was not found.

       >128   A command was interrupted by a signal.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
