\subsection return-description Description

The \c return builtin is used to halt a currently running function. It
is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an <a
href="#if">if</a> statement or a <a href="#switch">switch</a>
statement to conditionally stop the executing function and return to
the caller, but it can also be used to specify the exit status of a
function.

- \c STATUS is the return status of the function. If unspecified, the status is unchanged.

\subsection return-example Example
The following code is an implementation of the false command as a fish function

<pre>
function false
	return 1
end
</pre>
