EXIT(3F)							      EXIT(3F)

NAME
       exit - terminate process with status

SYNOPSIS
       subroutine exit (status)
       integer*4 status

DESCRIPTION
       exit  flushes and closes all the files of the process, and notifies the
       parent process if it is executing a wait.  The low-order 8 bits of sta‐
       tus are available to the parent process.	 These 8 bits are shifted left
       8 bits, and all other bits are zero.  Therefore, status	should	be  in
       the range of 256 - 65280.

       This call never returns.

       The  C  function	 exit  may cause cleanup actions before the final `sys
       exit'.

       If you call exit without an argument, you get a warning message, and  a
       zero is automatically provided as an argument.

FILES
       libfui.a
