NAME

       return - stop the innermost currently evaluated function


   Synopsis
       function NAME; [COMMANDS...;] return [STATUS]; [COMMANDS...;] end

   Description
       The return builtin is used to halt a currently running function. It is
       usually added inside of a conditional block such as an if statement or
       a switch 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.


       o STATUS is the return status of the function. If unspecified, the
         status is unchanged.


   Example
       The following code is an implementation of the false command as a fish
       function



       function false
            return 1
       end
