.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-.sp
.LP
Upon termination, each command returns two bytes of status, one supplied by the
system and giving the cause for termination, and (in the case of "normal"
-termination) one supplied by the program [see \fBwait\fR(3UCB) and
+termination) one supplied by the program [see
\fBexit\fR(2)]. The former byte is \fB0\fR for normal termination. The latter
byte is customarily \fB0\fR for successful execution and non-zero to indicate
troubles such as erroneous parameters, or bad or inaccessible data. It is
called variously "exit code", "exit status", or "return code", and is described
only where special conventions are involved.
