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 exist 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
              }
