Lua function
os.exit
Summary
Attempts to terminate the process
Prototype
os.exit (n)
Description
Terminates the host program with the return code n (in standard Lua).
However, os.exit is does not do that in MUSHclient. It will raise an error if called ("'os.exit' not implemented in MUSHclient"). This is because doing an immediate exit bypasses all checks to save open documents, save plugin states, and so on.
