.SH SYNOPSIS
|

\fBexit\fP \fB[\fP\fIn\fP\fB]\fP
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The \fIexit\fP utility shall cause the shell to exit with the exit
|
|
|
|
status specified by the unsigned decimal integer \fIn\fP.
|
|
|
|
If \fIn\fP is specified, but its value is not between 0 and 255 inclusively,
|
|
|
|
the exit status is undefined.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
A \fItrap\fP on \fBEXIT\fP shall be executed before the shell terminates,
|
|
|
|
except when the
|
|
|
|
\fIexit\fP utility is invoked in that \fItrap\fP itself, in which
|
|
|
|
case the shell shall exit
|
|
|
|
immediately.

.SH EXIT STATUS
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The exit status shall be \fIn\fP, if specified. Otherwise, the value
|
|
|
|
shall be the exit value of the last command executed, or
|
|
|
|
zero if no command was executed. When \fIexit\fP is executed in a
|
|
|
|
\fItrap\fP action, the
|
|
|
|
last command is considered to be the command that executed immediately
|
|
|
|
preceding the \fItrap\fP action.
