\subsection return-description 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 <a
href="#if">if</a> statement or a <a href="#switch">switch</a>
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.

\subsection return-example Example
The following code is an implementation of the false command as a fish function

\fish
function false
    return 1
end
\endfish
