NAME
exit - terminate process with status
SYNOPSIS
subroutine exit (status) integer status
DESCRIPTION
Exit flushes and closes all the process's files, and notifies the parent process if it is executing a wait. The low-order 8 bits of status are available to the parent process. (Therefore status should be in the range 0 - 255) This call will never return. The C function exit may cause cleanup actions before the final `sys exit'.
