output version information and exit
If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal,
append output to 'nohup.out' if possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal,
redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use 'nohup COMMAND > FILE'.
Your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here.
Please refer to your shell's documentation for details about the options it supports.
Exitstatus:
125 if the nohup command itself fails
126 if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked
127 if COMMAND cannot be found
- the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
