NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       exit(status)

13       int status;

DESCRIPTION

16       Exit is the normal means of terminating a process.  Exit closes all the
17       process's files and notifies the parent process if it  is  executing  a
18       wait.   The  low-order  8  bits  of  status are available to the parent
19       process.
20
21       This call can never return.
22
23       The C function exit may cause cleanup actions  before  the  final  `sys
24       exit'.  The function _exit circumvents all cleanup.
