EXIT(3F) UNIX Programmer's Manual EXIT(3F) NAME exit - terminate process with status SYNOPSIS subroutine exit (status) integer status DESCRIPTION _E_x_i_t flushes and closes all the process's files, and noti- fies the parent process if it is executing a _w_a_i_t. The low-order 8 bits of _s_t_a_t_u_s are available to the parent pro- cess. (Therefore _s_t_a_t_u_s should be in the range 0 - 255) This call will never return. The C function _e_x_i_t may cause cleanup actions before the final `sys exit'. FILES /usr/lib/libF77.a SEE ALSO exit(2), fork(2), fork(3F), wait(2), wait(3F) Printed 11/26/99 May 15, 1985 1
