NAME
exit - terminate process
SYNOPSIS
exit(status)
int status;
_exit(status)
int status;
DESCRIPTION
Exit
is the normal means of terminating a process.
Exit
closes all the process's files and notifies the parent process
if it is executing a
wait.
The low-order 8 bits of
status
are available to the parent process.
This call can never return.
The C function
exit
may cause cleanup actions before the
final `sys exit'.
The function
_exit
circumvents all cleanup.
