 _exit()                 Terminate Process without Cleanup

 #include   <process.h>
 #include   <stdlib.h>

 void       _exit(status);
 int        status;                      Exit status

    _exit() terminates the calling process and returns the low-byte of
    'status' (status & 0xFF) to the waiting parent process, if one
    exists.  Functions registered with atexit() are NOT executed, files
    are not closed, and stream buffers are not flushed.


       Returns:     There is no return value; _exit() does not return to
                    the calling process.  'status' is returned to the
                    parent process. (The parent process is usually the
                    operating system.)

         Notes:     exit() has a similar function to _exit(), but does
                    flush stream buffers, close files, and execute
                    functions registered with atexit() before
                    terminating.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements set the exit status to 1 if more than one
    command line argument is passed.

           #include <stdio.h>     /* for 'printf' */
           #include <stdlib.h>    /* for '_exit' (also in <process.h>) */

           main(argc, argv)
           int argc;
           char *argv[];
           {
               if (argc > 2) {
                  perror("no more than 1 command line parameter allowed\n");
                  _exit(1);   /* exit immediately */
                }
               /* exit normally here with a status of 0 */
           }
