NAME

       exit_group - exit all threads in a process

SYNOPSIS

       #include <linux/unistd.h>

       void exit_group(int status);

DESCRIPTION

       This system call is equivalent to exit(2) except that it terminates not
       only the calling thread, but  all  threads  in  the  calling  process’s
       thread group.

RETURN VALUE

       This system call does not return.

VERSIONS

       This call is present since Linux 2.5.35.

CONFORMING TO

       This call is Linux-specific.

NOTES

       Since  glibc  2.3,  this  is  the  system call invoked when the exit(2)
       wrapper function is called.

SEE ALSO
