NAME
       atexit - add program termination routine

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       int atexit (void (*func)(void));


DESCRIPTION
       atexit adds the function func to a list of functions to be called
       without arguments on normal termination of the program.  Normal
       termination occurs by either a call to the exit system call or a
       return from main.  At most 32 functions may be registered by atexit;
       the functions will be called in the reverse order of their
       registration.

       atexit returns 0 if the registration succeeds, nonzero if it fails.
