exit - End the application
Contents
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
}
