EXIT - Exit CMD.EXE

 
 Purpose:    Return from CMD.EXE. 
             
 Format:     EXIT [value ] 
             
             value :  The numeric exit code to return. 
 
 Usage 
 EXIT terminates the current copy of CMD.EXE.  Use it to return to an 
 application when you have "shelled out" to work at the prompt, or to end 
 an OS/2 command-line session. 
 To close the session, or to return to the application that started 
 CMD.EXE, type: 

 
         [c:\] exit
 
 
 If you specify a value, EXIT will return that value to the program that 
 started CMD.EXE.  For example: 

 
         [c:\] exit 255
 
 
 The value is a number you can use to inform the program of some result, 
 such as the success or failure of a batch file.  It can range from 0 - 
 4,294,967,295.  This feature is most useful for systems which use batch 
 files to automate their operation, such as bulletin boards, or custom 
 application programs like databases that shell to CMD.EXE to perform 
 certain tasks.
