EXIT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual EXIT(3) NAME exit -- perform normal program termination LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <stdlib.h> void exit(int status); DESCRIPTION Exit() terminates a process. Before termination it performs the following functions in the order listed: 1. Call the functions registered with the atexit(3) function, in the reverse order of their registration. 2. Flush all open output streams. 3. Close all open streams. 4. Unlink all files created with the tmpfile(3) function. Passing arbitrary values back to the environment as status is considered bad style; you should use the values EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE. If portability is not a concern, you may use the values described in sysexits(3). RETURN VALUES The exit() function never returns. SEE ALSO _exit(2), atexit(3), intro(3), sysexits(3), tmpfile(3) STANDARDS The exit() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 ("ISO C90"). BSD June 4, 1993 BSD
