Thanks for the report, but there's a section on this in the
info documentation.  Maybe you didn't see that?

  Exit status
  ===========

     Nearly every command invocation yields an integral "exit status"
  that can be used to change how other commands work.  For the vast
  majority of commands, an exit status of zero indicates success, and a
  value of `1' indicates failure.  However, some of the programs
  documented here do produce other exit status values and a few associate
  different meanings with the values `0' and `1'.  Here are some of the
  exceptions: `expr', `false', `nohup', `printenv', `sort', `test',
  `true', `tty'.
