1212 However, when dc(1) is in interactive mode, then if this environment
1213 variable exists and contains an integer, a non\-zero value makes dc(1)

1255 \f[B]\-\-file\f[R], then if this environment variable exists and

1333 The exit status \f[B]4\f[R] is special; when a fatal error occurs, dc(1)
1334 always exits and returns \f[B]4\f[R], no matter what mode dc(1) is in.
1336 The other statuses will only be returned when dc(1) is not in
1341 \f[B]\-i\f[R] flag or \f[B]\-\-interactive\f[R] option.

1347 Like bc(1), dc(1) has an interactive mode and a non\-interactive mode.
