\section exit exit - exit the shell. \subsection exit-synopsis Synopsis <tt>exit [STATUS]</tt> \subsection exit-description Description The <tt>exit</tt> builtin causes fish to exit. If <tt>STATUS</tt> is supplied, it will be converted to an integer and used as the exit code. Otherwise the exit code will be that of the last command executed. If exit is called while sourcing a file (using the <a href="#source">.</a> builtin) the rest of the file will be skipped, but the shell itself will not exit.
