POSIX requires:
- -e
When this option is on, if a simple command fails for any of the
reasons listed in Consequences of Shell Errors or returns an exit status
value >0, and is not part of the compound list following a while, until,
or if keyword, and is not a part of an AND or OR list, and is not a
pipeline preceded by the ! reserved word, then the shell shall immediately
exit.
