+.SH NAME
+return \- return from a function
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fBreturn\fP \fB[\fP\fIn\fP\fB]\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIreturn\fP utility shall cause the shell to stop executing the
+current function or \fIdot\fP script. If the shell is not currently
+executing a function or \fIdot\fP script, the results are unspecified.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+None.
+.SH OPERANDS
+.LP
+See the DESCRIPTION.
+.SH STDIN
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH INPUT FILES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+.LP
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH STDERR
+.LP
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH OUTPUT FILES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.LP
+The value of the special parameter \fB'?'\fP shall be set to \fIn\fP,
+an unsigned decimal integer, or to the exit status of
+the last command executed if \fIn\fP is not specified. If the value
+of \fIn\fP is greater than 255, the results are undefined.
+When \fIreturn\fP is executed in a \fItrap\fP action, the last command
+is considered to be
+the command that executed immediately preceding the \fItrap\fP action.
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+.LP
+Default.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+The behavior of \fIreturn\fP when not in a function or \fIdot\fP script
+differs between
+the System V shell and the KornShell. In the System V shell this is
+an error, whereas in the KornShell, the effect is the same as
+\fIexit\fP.
+.LP
+The results of returning a number greater than 255 are undefined because
+of differing practices in the various historical
+implementations. Some shells AND out all but the low-order 8 bits;
+others allow larger values, but not of unlimited size.
+.LP
+See the discussion of appropriate exit status values under \fIexit\fP
+\&.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
