exit -- exit the program

Description

exit n -- terminates the program and returns n as return code.
exit -- terminates the program and returns 0 as return code.

Files are flushed and closed. Functions registered with addStartFunction are called, unless a nonzero return value has been provided. Another way to exit is to type the end of file character, which is typically set to Control-D in unix systems, and is Control-Z under Windows.
