exit

Synopsis

exit(["reason"])

Causes the currently executing script to stop executing.

Parameters

"reason" - an optional parameter, when a reason is specified, this will be printed as a runtime warning.

Side Effects / Notes

Discards the current call stack. The exit function works by throwing an uncatchable exception within the Sleep interpreter. This exception causes execution to stop.

Examples

debug(15); # 15 is for trace... sub fact { if ($1 == 0) { exit("I just feel like it!"); } return $1 * fact($1 - 1); } fact(2);
