.Sh EXIT STATUS
Errors that are detected by the shell, such as a syntax error, will
cause the shell to exit with a non-zero exit status.
If the shell is not an interactive shell, the execution of the shell
file will be aborted.

executed, or if the exit builtin is used with a numeric argument, it
will return the argument.
