LIBRARY
Standard C library
( libc,~ -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/syscall.h> /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
#include <unistd.h>
[[noreturn]] long~syscall(SYS_exit, int~status);

exit()
terminates the calling thread.

_exit(3),

reparenting child processes or sending
SIGCHLD
to the parent process are performed only if this is
the last thread in the thread group.

does not return.
STANDARDS
Linux.
HISTORY
Linux.
