used to halt a currently running function. It is usually added inside

<a href="#switch">switch</a> statement to conditionally stop the
executing function and return to the caller.
- \c STATUS is the return status of the function. If unspecified, the status is set to 0.

<p>
<pre>function false
return 1
end</pre>
