Either call sys.exit(rc) or raise the SystemExit exception with the
numeric return code.

If the exception data is not an integer, the string representation is
printed to stderr and the return code is 1.  Otherwise, nothing is
printed (no traceback) and integer is the return code.

Note: the sys.exit() function raises the SystemExit exception.
