When I run `exit` command in bash function, how it works.

Environment

• bash

Problems

• I don't know how it works when I exec exit command in bash function.
  • exit function or exit script?
  • What will the exit code look like?

How to solve

I actually did it, and found out below.

• script execution ended.
• exit code will be set to exit code specified by exit command.

Description

cat << EOF > a.sh
exit_func () {
    exit 0
}

exit_func
echo 'execute here!'
EOF

sh ./a.sh
echo $?

output

0

cat << EOF > b.sh
exit_func_254 () {
    exit 254
}

exit_func_254
echo 'execute here!'
EOF

sh ./b.sh
echo $?

output

254
