 Diagnostics

    Upon termination, each command returns two bytes of status data:  one
    supplied by the system giving the cause for termination and (in the case
    of ``normal'' termination) one supplied by the program (see wait(S) and
    exit(S)).  The former byte is 0 for normal termination.  The latter is
    customarily 0 for successful execution; a nonzero value indicates trou-
    bles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible data, or some
    other inability to cope with the task at hand.  This datum is called
    variously ``exit code,'' ``exit status,'' or ``return code;'' it is
    described only where special conventions are involved.
