Ski IA-64 Simulator Reference Manual 1.0L

2.6Quitting Ski

The quit command causes the simulator to exit. If a numeric operand or expression is supplied, the value is returned to the shell as Ski’s exit status. This can be particularly useful with bski and command files (see Chapter 9, “Command Files”), for automated testing and regression testing. The exit status from Ski becomes the new value of your shell’s $? variable (for most shells) and can also be retrieved automatically by the make program, if you use makefiles to control batch runs.

2.6.1Summary of the Quit Command

quit [expression]

Terminates the simulator and returns control to the system, setting the exit status to expression (default is 0).
