.. _cmd-exec:
exec - execute command in current process
=========================================
Synopsis
--------
**exec** *COMMAND*
Description
-----------
``exec`` replaces the currently running shell with a new command. On successful completion, ``exec`` never returns. ``exec`` cannot be used inside a pipeline.
Example
-------
``exec emacs`` starts up the emacs text editor, and exits ``fish``. When emacs exits, the session will terminate.
