.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
||
|
|
.Ft void
|
||

|
.Fn exit "int status"
|
||

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Fn exit
|

||
|
|
.Dv EXIT_SUCCESS
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Dv EXIT_FAILURE
|
||
|
|
can be used to indicate successful and unsuccessful
|
||
|
|
termination, respectively.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Before termination it performs the following functions in the
|
||
|
|
order listed:
|
||
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
Call the functions registered with the
|
||
|
|
.Xr atexit 3

|
|

|
|
.Fn exit
|
||
|
|
calls
|
||
|
|
.Xr _exit 2 .
|
||
|
|
Note that typically
|
||
|
|
.Xr _exit 2
|
||
|
|
only passes the lower 8 bits of
|
||
|
|
.Fa status
|
||
|
|
on to the parent, thus negative values have less meaning.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn exit
|
||
|
|
