NAME¶
exit - End the application
SYNOPSIS¶
exit ?
returnCode?
DESCRIPTION¶
Terminate the process, returning
returnCode to the system as the exit
status. If
returnCode isn't specified then it defaults to 0.
EXAMPLE¶
Since non-zero exit codes are usually interpreted as error cases by the calling
process, the
exit command is an important part of signalling that
something fatal has gone wrong. This code fragment is useful in scripts to act
as a general problem trap:
proc main {} {
# ... put the real main code in here ...
}
if {[catch {main} msg]} {
puts stderr "unexpected script error: $msg"
if {[info exist env(DEBUG)]} {
puts stderr "---- BEGIN TRACE ----"
puts stderr $errorInfo
puts stderr "---- END TRACE ----"
}
# Reserve code 1 for "expected" error exits...
exit 2
}
