!!NAME


_exit - terminate the current process
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include __


__void _exit(int__ ''status''__);__
!!DESCRIPTION


___exit__ terminates the calling process immediately. Any
open file descriptors belonging to the process are closed;
any children of the process are inherited by process 1,
init, and the process's parent is sent a __SIGCHLD__
signal.


''status'' is returned to the parent process as the
process's exit status, and can be collected using one of the
__wait__ family of calls.
!!RETURN VALUE


___exit__ never returns.
!!CONFORMING TO


SVr4, SVID, POSIX, X/OPEN, BSD 4.3
!!NOTES


___exit__ does not call any functions registered with the
ANSI C __atexit__ function and does not flush standard
I/O buffers. To do these things, use
exit(3).
