+.Fn exit "int status"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn exit
+terminates a process.
+The
+.Fa status
+values
+.Dv EXIT_SUCCESS
+and
+.Dv EXIT_FAILURE
+can be used to indicate successful and unsuccessful
+termination, respectively.
+.Pp
+Before termination it performs the following functions in the
+order listed:

+.Xr atexit 3
+function, in the reverse order of their registration.
+.It

+.Xr tmpfile 3
+function.
+.El
+.Pp
+Following this,
+.Fn exit
+calls
+.Xr _exit 2 .
+.Sh RESTRICTIONS
+Standard C guarantees only that the values zero,
+.Dv EXIT_SUCCESS ,
+and
+.Dv EXIT_FAILURE
+produce meaningful results.
+POSIX extends this to guarantee that the
+least significant 8 bits of
+.Fa status
+are preserved and returned to the parent via
+.Xr wait 2 .
+Values outside the supported range 0-255 are bitwise-truncated; therefore,
+negative values should not be used.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn exit
+function
+never returns.
