exit(1)               MPE/iX Shell and Utilities               exit(1)

  NAME
       exit -- exit from the shell

  SYNOPSIS
       exit [expression]

  DESCRIPTION
       exit terminates the shell.

       On a POSIX-compliant system, the value of expression should be
       between 0 and 255.  The EXIT trap is raised by the exit command,
       unless exit is being invoked inside an EXIT trap.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       exit returns the value of the arithmetic expression to the parent
       process as the exit status of the shell.  If you omit expression,
       it returns the exit status of the last command executed.

  Messages
       Because this utility is built into the MPE/iX Shell, see the
       sh(1) man page for a complete list of error messages that you may
       receive when using it.

  PORTABILITY
       POSIX.2.  x/OPEN Portability Guide 4.0.  All UNIX systems.

       Allowing an expression rather than just a number is an extension
       found in the KornShell.

  NOTE
       This is a special built-in command of the shell.

  MPE/iX NOTES
       If you are using the MPE/iX Shell under the MPE/iX CI, remember
       that using the exit command at the shell's root level does not
       log you off the system but merely returns you to the MPE/iX CI.
