+.Dt _EXIT 2
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm _exit ,
+.Nm _Exit
+.Nd terminate the calling process
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In unistd.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn _exit "int status"
+.In stdlib.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn _Exit "int status"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn _exit
+and
+.Fn _Exit
+functions terminate a process with the following consequences:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+All threads in the process are terminated.
+.It
+All open file descriptors in the calling process are closed.
+This may entail delays; for example, waiting for output to drain.
+A process in this state may not be killed, as it is already dying.
+.It
+If the parent process of the calling process has an outstanding
+.Xr wait 2
+call or catches the
+.Dv SIGCHLD
+signal, it is notified of the calling process's termination and
+.Fa status
+is set as defined by
+.Xr wait 2 .
+(Note that typically only the lower 8 bits of
+.Fa status
+are passed on to the parent, thus negative values have less meaning.)
+.It
+The parent process ID of all of the calling process's existing child
+processes are set to 1; the initialization process (see the
+DEFINITIONS section of
+.Xr intro 2 )
+inherits each of these processes.
+.It
+If the termination of the process causes any process group
+to become orphaned (usually because the parents of all members
+of the group have now exited; see Orphaned Process Group in
+.Xr intro 2 ) ,
+and if any member of the orphaned group is stopped, the
+.Dv SIGHUP
+and
+.Dv SIGCONT
+signals are sent to all members of the newly orphaned process group.
+.It
+If the process is a controlling process (see
+.Xr intro 2 ) ,
+the
+.Dv SIGHUP
+signal is sent to the foreground process group of the controlling terminal,
+and all current access to the controlling terminal is revoked.
+.El
+.Pp
+Most C programs call the library routine
+.Xr exit 3 ,
+which flushes buffers, closes streams, unlinks temporary files, etc.,
+and then calls
+.Fn _exit .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn _exit
+and
+.Fn _Exit
+can never return.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr fork 2 ,
+.Xr intro 2 ,
+.Xr sigaction 2 ,
+.Xr wait 2 ,

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn _exit
+function conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2008 .
+The
+.Fn _Exit
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+An
+.Fn exit
+system call first appeared in
+.At v1 .
+It accepts the
+.Fa status
+argument since
+.At v2 .
+An
+.Fn _exit
+variant first appeared in
+.At v7 .
+The
+.Fn _Exit
+function appeared in
+.Ox 3.6 .
