the function
.br _exit ()
is like
.br exit (3),
but does not call any
functions registered with
.br atexit (3)
or
.br on_exit (3).
open
.br stdio (3)
streams are not flushed.
on the other hand,
.br _exit ()
does close open file descriptors, and this may cause an unknown delay,
waiting for pending output to finish.
if the delay is undesired,
it may be useful to call functions like
.br tcflush (3)
before calling
.br _exit ().
whether any pending i/o is canceled, and which pending i/o may be
canceled upon
.br _exit (),
is implementation-dependent.
.ss c library/kernel differences
in glibc up to version 2.3, the
.br _exit ()
wrapper function invoked the kernel system call of the same name.
since glibc 2.3, the wrapper function invokes
.br exit_group (2),
in order to terminate all of the threads in a process.
.pp
the raw
.br _exit ()
system call terminates only the calling thread, and actions such as
reparenting child processes or sending
.b sigchld
to the parent process are performed only if this is
the last thread in the thread group.
.\" _exit() is used by pthread_exit() to terminate the calling thread
