intro - Introduction to commands
Section 1 describes the commands available for all Tru64 UNIX users.
Some reference pages in this section may contain suffixes to allow their files to exist with those of other reference pages having the same base name and section number. When used, suffixes are made up of one to four letters. See the man(1) reference page for more information on suffixes.
Commands related to system maintenance appear in Section 8.
On 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. For more information, see
exit(2).
The first byte is 0 for normal termination; the second byte is customarily
0 for successful execution. A nonzero status indicates a problem, such as
erroneous parameters, or bad or inaccessible data. The status value is called
variously exit code, exit status, or return code, and is described explicitly
on reference pages only when special conventions apply.
Commands: man(1)
Functions: exit(2)
