.SH NAME
return-handler \- (program-flow)
.SH PURPOSE
Return from current request handler back to its caller.
.SH SYNTAX
.RS 4
.EX
return-handler [ <return value> ]
.EE
.RE
.SH DESCRIPTION
Returns from current request handler by transferring control back to its caller. If the current request handler is handling an external request (such as from a web browser, API, command line etc.), then return-handler is equivalent to \fBexit-handler\fP. If the current request handler was handling an internal request (i.e. called from another request handler with \fBcall-handler\fP), then control transfers back to that handler immediately after call-handler.
For internal requests, the number <return value> will be passed back to the caller, who can obtain it via "return-value" clause in \fBcall-handler\fP. If <return value> is omitted, then it is assumed to be 0. If current request handler is handling an external request, then <return value> will also set the handler's exit status (see \fBexit-status\fP and \fBexit-handler\fP).
.SH EXAMPLES
In this example, "req-handler" (the caller) will call "other-handler" (the callee), which will return to the caller (immediately after call-handler). Here's the caller:
.RS 4
.EX
begin-handler /req-handler public
...
call-handler "/other-handler" return-value rval
...
end-handler
.EE
.RE
The callee handler:
.RS 4
.EX
begin-handler /other-handler public
...
return-handler 5
...
end-handler
The value of "rval" in the caller will be 5.
