A process calls the wait() function and kernel level code checks the status of a child process, it will suspend execution of the calling thread until status information for one of the terminated child processes is is available.
A call to the exit() function causes a normal termination of the process that calls exit(). There is no involvement with the parent process, in fact the parent process may have already terminated at this stage.
Note that a running process can also be terminated by sending it a signal (like SIGTERM or SIGKILL).
