INTRO(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual INTRO(4)NAME
intro - introduction to file servers
DESCRIPTION
A Plan 9 file server provides a file tree to processes. This section of the manual describes servers than can be mounted in a name space
to give a file-like interface to interesting services. A file server may be a provider of a conventional file system, with files main-
tained on permanent storage, or it may also be a process that synthesizes files in some manner.

INTRO(8) BSD System Manager's Manual INTRO(8)NAME
intro -- introduction to system maintenance procedures and commands
DESCRIPTION
This section contains information related to system operation and maintenance.
It describes commands used to create new file systems (newfs(8)), verify the integrity of the file systems (fsck(8)), control disk usage
(edquota(8)), maintain system backups (dump(8)), and recover files when disks die an untimely death (restore(8)). Network related services
like ftpd(8) are also described.
All commands set an exit status. Its value may be tested to see if the command completed normally. Unless otherwise noted (rare), the value
0 signifies successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indicates an error. Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the
failure by using error codes defined in sysexits(3), or set the status to arbitrary values >0 (typically 1), but many such values are not
described in the manual.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
