NAME

exit − terminate process with status

SYNOPSIS

subroutine exit (status)
integer status subroutine exit()

DESCRIPTION

exit flushes and closes all the process’s files, and notifies the parent process if it is executing a wait.  The low-order 8 bits of status are available to the parent process.  (Therefore status should be in the range 0 − 255).  If no argument is given, the status given to the parent process is 0. 

This call will never return. 

The C function exit may cause cleanup actions before the final ‘sys exit’.
