NAME
       exit - End the application

SYNOPSIS
       exit ?returnCode?
______________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       Terminate  the  process, returning returnCode to the system as the exit
       status.  If returnCode is not specified then it defaults to 0.

EXAMPLE
       Since non-zero exit codes are usually interpreted as error cases by the
       calling  process,  the  exit  command is an important part of signaling
       that something fatal has gone wrong. This code fragment  is  useful  in
       scripts to act as a general problem trap:

              proc main {} {
                  # ... put the real main code in here ...
              }

              if {[catch {main} msg options]} {
                  puts stderr "unexpected script error: $msg"
                  if {[info exists env(DEBUG)]} {
                      puts stderr "---- BEGIN TRACE ----"
                      puts stderr [dict get $options -errorinfo]
                      puts stderr "---- END TRACE ----"
                  }

                  # Reserve code 1 for "expected" error exits...
                  exit 2
              }
