NAME
       return -- stop the current inner	function

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

   Description
       return halts a currently	running	function. The exit status is set to
       STATUS if it is given.

       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.

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

       function	false
	   return 1
       end

Version	2.5.0			Fri Feb	3 2017			     return(1)
