DIAGNOSTICS
Upon termination each command returns two bytes of status, one supplied by the system giving the cause for termination, and (in the case of
`normal' termination) one supplied by the program, see wait and exit(2). The former byte is 0 for normal termination, the latter is cus-
tomarily 0 for successful execution, nonzero to indicate troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible data, or other inabil-
ity to cope with the task at hand. It is called variously `exit code', `exit status' or `return code', and is described only where special
conventions are involved.

INTRO(1) BSD General Commands Manual INTRO(1)NAME
intro -- introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)
DESCRIPTION
Section one of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise the BSD user environment. Some of the commands included in section
one are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching and sorting tools, file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote
file copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools, formatted output tools, and line printer commands.
All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if the command completed normally. The exit values and their meanings
are explained in the individual manuals. Traditionally, the value 0 signifies successful completion of the command.
