.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn atexit
|
|
function
|
|
registers the given
|
|
.Ar function
|
|
to be called at program exit, whether via

|
.Xr exit 3
|
|
or via return from the program's
|
|
.Em main .
|
|
Functions so registered are called in reverse order;
|
|
no arguments are passed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These functions must not call
|
|
.Fn exit ;
|
|
if it should be necessary to terminate the process while in such a
|
|
function, the
|
|
.Xr _exit 2
|
|
function should be used. (Alternatively, the function may cause abnormal
|
|
process termination, for example by calling
|
|
.Xr abort 3 . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At least 32 functions can always be registered,
|
|
and more are allowed as long as sufficient memory can be allocated.
