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 par‐
       ent 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’.
