10     The nnoohhuupp utility invokes _c_o_m_m_a_n_d with its arguments and at this time
11     sets the signal SIGHUP to be ignored. The signal SIGQUIT may also be set
12     to be ignored.  If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output
13     is appended to the file _n_o_h_u_p._o_u_t in the current directory.  If standard
14     error is a terminal, it is directed to the same place as the standard
15     output.
16
17     NNoohhuupp exits 1 if an error occurs, otherwise the exit status is that of
18     _c_o_m_m_a_n_d.

24           directory, the nnoohhuupp utility uses the directory named by HOME to
25           create the file.
