Quitting from a script, either sourced or not
This is a very simple problem, I am wondering why I can find no answer anywhere...
I have a script that can be run either sourced or not. This script has some place where it needs to quit execution (e.g., when an error is found)
If I "exit", the sourced call would exit the parent shell, but if I "return", the non-sourced call is not allowed.
How to solve this?

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session

The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
