Caveats

       By  the time function is executed, stack (auto) variables may already have gone out of scope.  Therefore,
       arg should not be a pointer to a stack variable; it may however be a pointer to  a  heap  variable  or  a
       global variable.

Description

       The  on_exit()  function registers the given function to be called at normal process termination, whether
       via exit(3) or via return from the program's main().  The function is passed the status argument given to
       the last call to exit(3) and the arg argument from on_exit().

       The same function may be registered multiple times: it is called once for each registration.

       When a child process is created via fork(2), it inherits copies of its parent's  registrations.   Upon  a
       successful call to one of the exec(3) functions, all registrations are removed.

History

       SunOS 4, glibc.  Removed in Solaris (SunOS 5).  Use the standard atexit(3) instead.

Library

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Name

       on_exit - register a function to be called at normal process termination

           Since glibc 2.19:
               _DEFAULT_SOURCE
           glibc 2.19 and earlier:
               _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
