Description:
------------
http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.exit.php says:

"If status is an integer, that value will also be used as the exit status. Exit statuses should be in the range 1 to 254, the exit status 255 is reserved by PHP and shall not be used."

I think this is misleading, it should read:

"Omit 'exit' or use either 'exit;' or 'exit(0);' to terminate a successfully program as this is convention (in at least Unix environments). A non-zero exit code is used to indicate a problem. The exit status 255 is reserved by PHP and shall not be used."

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
