Exit values
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(S)
and
exit(S).
The former byte is 0 for normal termination, the latter is
customarily 0 for successful execution, nonzero to indicate
troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible
data, or other inability 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.
