 _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 onexit() and atexit() are NOT
    executed, 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 as _exit(), but does flush
                stream buffers and execute functions registered with
                onexit() and atexit() before terminating.

 Portability:   Applies to MS DOS only.

   -------------------------------- 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 */
           }
