41 | .Fd #include <stdlib.h> | ||
42 | .Ft void | ||

44 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
45 | The | ||
46 | .Fn exit | ||
47 | function terminates a process. | ||

57 | Flush all open output streams. | ||
58 | .It | ||
59 | Close all open streams. | ||

65 | .Pp | ||
66 | Following this, | ||
67 | .Fn exit | ||
68 | calls | ||
69 | .Xr _exit 2 . | ||

71 | .Xr _exit 2 | ||
72 | only passes the lower 8 bits of | ||
73 | .Fa status | ||
74 | on to the parent, thus negative values have less meaning. | ||
75 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||

77 | .Fn exit | ||
78 | function never returns. | ||
