return: Linux Commands HowTo
return: Exit a shell function
Cause a shell function to exit with the return value n.
Syntax
return [n]
Options
n Return value i.e. an errorlevel
If n is not supplied, the return value is the exit status of the last command
executed in the function. This may also be used to terminate execution of a
script being executed with the . (or source) builtin, returning either n or
the exit status of the last command executed within the script as the exit status
of the script.
The return status is false if return is used outside a function and not during
the execution of a script by . or source.
return is a BOURNE shell command and a POSIX `special? builtin.
