IEEE/The Open Group                                   2017                                          EXIT(3POSIX)

       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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  value  of  status  may  be  0, EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, or any other value, though only the least
       significant 8 bits (that is, status & 0377) shall be available from wait() and waitpid(); the full  value
       shall be available from waitid() and in the siginfo_t passed to a signal handler for SIGCHLD.

       The  exit() function shall first call all functions registered by atexit(), 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 longjmp() function is made that would terminate
       the call to the registered function, the behavior is undefined.

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

       The  exit()  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 ConsequencesofProcessTermination.

       No errors are defined.

       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
