exit_group(2)              System Calls Manual             exit_group(2)

NAME

       exit_group - exit all threads in a process

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/syscall.h>       /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
       #include <unistd.h>

       [[noreturn]] void syscall(SYS_exit_group, int status);

       Note: glibc provides no wrapper for exit_group(), necessitating
       the use of syscall(2).

DESCRIPTION

       This system call terminates all threads in the calling process's
       thread group.

RETURN VALUE

       This system call does not return.

STANDARDS

       Linux.

HISTORY

       Linux 2.5.35.

NOTES

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

SEE ALSO

       _exit(2)
