\subsection return-description Description
`return` halts a currently running function. The exit status is set to `STATUS` if it is given.
It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an <a href="#if">if</a> statement or a <a href="#switch">switch</a> statement to conditionally stop the executing function and return to the caller, but it can also be used to specify the exit status of a function.
\subsection return-example Example
The following code is an implementation of the false command as a fish function
\fish
function false
return 1
end
\endfish
