       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       void exit(int _s_t_a_t_u_s);

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
       ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       The value of _s_t_a_t_u_s may be 0, EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, or any other
       value, though only the least significant 8 bits (that is, _s_t_a_t_u_s &
       0377) shall be available to a waiting parent process.

       The _e_x_i_t() function shall first call all functions registered by
       _a_t_e_x_i_t(), in the reverse order of their registration, except that a
       function is called after any previously registered functions that had
       already been called at the time it was registered. Each function is
       called as many times as it was registered. If, during the call to any
       such function, a call to the _l_o_n_g_j_m_p() function is made that would
       terminate the call to the registered function, the behavior is
       undefined.

       If a function registered by a call to _a_t_e_x_i_t() fails to return, the
       remaining registered functions shall not be called and the rest of the
       _e_x_i_t() processing shall not be completed. If _e_x_i_t() is called more than
       once, the behavior is undefined.

       The _e_x_i_t() function shall then flush all open streams with unwritten
       buffered data and close all open streams. Finally, the process shall be
       terminated with the same consequences as described in _C_o_n_s_e_q_u_e_n_c_e_s _o_f
       _P_r_o_c_e_s_s _T_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_i_o_n.
