.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn _exit "int status"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn _exit
|
|
system call
|
|
terminates a process with the following consequences:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
All of the descriptors open in the calling process are closed.
|
|
This may entail delays, for example, waiting for output to drain;
|
|
a process in this state may not be killed, as it is already dying.
|
|
.It
|
|
If the parent process of the calling process has an outstanding
|
|
.Xr wait 2
|
|
call
|
|
or catches the
|
|
.Dv SIGCHLD
|
|
signal,
|
|
it is notified of the calling process's termination and
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa status
|
|
is set as defined by
|
|
.Xr wait 2 .
|
|
.It
|
|
The parent process-ID of all of the calling process's existing child
|
|
processes are set to the process-ID of the calling process's reaper;
|
|
the reaper (normally the initialization process)
|
|
inherits each of these processes
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr procctl 2 ,
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
and the
|
|
.Sx DEFINITIONS
|
|
section of
|
|
.Xr intro 2 ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
If the termination of the process causes any process group
|
|
to become orphaned (usually because the parents of all members
|
|
of the group have now exited; see
|
|
.Dq orphaned process group
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr intro 2 ) ,
|
|
and if any member of the orphaned group is stopped,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
signal and the
|
|
.Dv SIGCONT
|
|
signal are sent to all members of the newly-orphaned process group.
|
|
.It
|
|
If the process is a controlling process (see
|
|
.Xr intro 2 ) ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
signal is sent to the foreground process group of the controlling terminal,
|
|
and all current access to the controlling terminal is revoked.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most C programs call the library routine
|
|
.Xr exit 3 ,
|
|
which flushes buffers, closes streams, unlinks temporary files, etc.,
|
|
before
|
|
calling
|
|
.Fn _exit .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn _exit
|
|
system call
|
|
can never return.
