Digital UNIX Diffs - exit(5)			  Digital UNIX Diffs - exit(5)

NAME
       exit, _exit -  Terminates a process

LIBRARY
	Standard C Library (libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>
       void exit (
	       int status );
       void _exit (
	       int status );

PARAMETERS
DIFFERENCES
       vms-process(5): OpenVMS Process Model Differences

       exit(2)	and  _exit(2)  terminate the calling process on both operating
       systems.	 The differences between the 2 platforms reflect  the  differ‐
       ences  in the base operating system.  For example, exit(2) and _exit(2)
       are identical in function on OpenVMS.  Flushing buffers is done as part
       of  process  cleanup.  On UNIX, exit(2) flushes	buffers and then calls
       _exit(2) to terminate the process.

       Another major difference is the relationship between parent  and	 child
       processes.   On	OpenVMS,  when	a parent process terminates, its child
       processes are terminated also.  On UNIX, child processes are not termi‐
       nated  when  their  parent  exits.   They are instead reparented to the
       init(8) process.
