This section describes publicly accessible commands in alphabetic order. Commands of general utility, many with enhancements from 4.3 BSD.
Pages of special interest have been categorized as follows:
Upon termination each command returns two bytes of status,
one supplied by the system giving the cause for
termination, and (in the case of ``normal'' termination)
one supplied by the program, see
wait.2v
and
exit.2v
The former byte is 0 for normal termination, the latter
is customarily 0 for successful execution, nonzero
to indicate troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible
data, or other inability to cope with the task at hand.
It is called variously ``exit code,'' ``exit status'' or
``return code,'' and is described only where special conventions are
involved.
