+## The exit status can only be one integer 0-255. Use stdout for other data.
+
+### Problematic code:
+
+```sh
+exit foo bar
+```
+
+### Correct code:
+
+```sh
+echo foo
+echo bar
+exit
+```
+
+### Rationale:
+
+In bash, `exit` can only be used to signal success or failure (0 = success, 1-255 = failure).
+
+To exit with textual or multiple values from a function, write them to stdout and capture them with command substitution instead.
+
+See [[SC2242]] for more information.

+### Exceptions:
