5 Script termination facilities ¶

Exiting a script is no joking matter! If we do not use the facilities described in this chapter: we can still safely exit a script by calling Bash’s built–in exit. But it is preferable to use the function mbfl_exit().

• exit facilities:		Facilities to exit a script.
• exit codes:		Exit codes and return codes
• exit atexit:		Running scripts at exit-time.
