EXIT(3F)                             BSD                              EXIT(3F)



NAME
     exit - terminate process with status

SYNOPSIS
     subroutine exit (status)
     integer status

DESCRIPTION
     exit flushes and closes all the process' files, and notifies the parent
     process if it is executing a wait.  The low-order eight bits of status
     are available to the parent process.  (Therefore, status should be in the
     range 0-255)

     This call will never return.

     The C function exit may cause clean-up actions before the final "sys
     exit."

FILES
