The following reply was made to PR bin/124748; it has been noted by GNATS. From: dfilter@FreeBSD.ORG (dfilter service) To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/124748: commit references a PR Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 15:05:00 +0000 (UTC) Author: jilles Date: Sun Jun 7 15:04:43 2009 New Revision: 193636 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/193636 Log: Mention the range for the exit status for the exit special builtin. The exit status may exceed 255 in some cases (return); even though it seems unwise to rely on this, it is also unwise to assume that $? is always between 0 and 255. This resolves bin/124748 by documenting that 'exit -1' is not valid.
