Description

The end keyword ends a block of commands started by one of the following commands:

  • :doc:begin <begin> to start a block of commands
  • :doc:function <function> to define a function
  • :doc:if <if>, :doc:switch <switch> to conditionally execute commands
  • :doc:while <while>, :doc:for <for> to perform commands multiple times

The end keyword does not change the current exit status. Instead, the status after it will be the status returned by the most recent command.
