apache_child_terminate - Terminate apache process after this request

SYNOPSIS
       bool apache_child_terminate (void  )

DESCRIPTION
       apache_child_terminate(3)  will register the Apache process executing the current PHP request for termination once execution of PHP code is
       completed. It may be used to terminate a process after a script with high memory consumption has been run as memory will  usually  only	be
       freed internally but not given back to the operating system.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns  TRUE  if  PHP is running as an Apache 1 module, the Apache version is non-multithreaded, and the child_terminate PHP directive is
       enabled (disabled by default). If these conditions are not met, FALSE is returned and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.
