Abnormal termination was caused only by +certain signals and resulted in implementation-defined "actions", as discussed below. Subsequent proposals distinguished three +types of termination: <i>normal termination</i> (as in the current specification), <i>simple abnormal termination</i>, and +<i>abnormal termination with actions</i>. Again the distinction between the two types of abnormal termination was that they were +caused by different signals and that implementation-defined actions would result in the latter case. Given that these actions were +completely implementation-defined, the early proposals were only saying when the actions could occur and how their occurrence could +be detected, but not what they were. This was of little or no use to conforming applications, and thus the distinction is not made +in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.</p> + +<p>The implementation-defined actions usually include, in most historical implementations, the creation of a file named <b>core</b> +in the current working directory of the process. This file contains an image of the memory of the process, together with +descriptive information about the process, perhaps sufficient to reconstruct the state of the process at the receipt of the +signal.</p> + +<p>There is a potential security problem in creating a <b>core</b> file if the process was set-user-ID and the current user is not +the owner of the program, if the process was set-group-ID and none of the user's groups match the group of the program, or if the +user does not have permission to write in the current directory. In this situation, an implementation either should not create a +<b>core</b> file or should make it unreadable by the user.</p> + +<p>Despite the silence of this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 on this feature, applications are advised not to create +files named <b>core</b> because of potential conflicts in many implementations. Some implementations use a name other than +<b>core</b> for the file; for example, by appending the process ID to the filename.</p> + +<h5><a name="tag_03_131_08_02"></a>Terminating a Process</h5> + +<p>It is important that the consequences of process termination as described occur regardless of whether the process called +<i>_exit</i>() (perhaps indirectly through <i>exit</i>()) or instead was terminated due to a signal or for some other reason. Note +that in the specific case of <i>exit</i>() this means that the <i>status</i> argument to <i>exit</i>() is treated in the same way +as the <i>status</i> argument to <i>_exit</i>().</p> + +<p>A language other than C may have other termination primitives than the C-language <i>exit</i>() function, and programs written +in such a language should use its native termination primitives, but those should have as part of their function the behavior of +<i>_exit</i>() as described. Implementations in languages other than C are outside the scope of this version of this volume of +IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, however.</p> + +<p>As required by the ISO C standard, using <b>return</b> from <i>main</i>() has the same behavior (other than with respect to +language scope issues) as calling <i>exit</i>() with the returned value. Reaching the end of the <i>main</i>() function has the +same behavior as calling <i>exit</i>(0).</p> + +<p>A value of zero (or EXIT_SUCCESS, which is required to be zero) for the argument <i>status</i> conventionally indicates +successful termination. This corresponds to the specification for <i>exit</i>() in the ISO C standard. The convention is +followed by utilities such as <a href="../utilities/make.html"><i>make</i></a> and various shells, which interpret a zero status +from a child process as success. For this reason, applications should not call <i>exit</i>(0) or <i>_exit</i>(0) when they +terminate unsuccessfully; for example, in signal-catching functions.</p> + +<p>Historically, the implementation-defined process that inherits children whose parents have terminated without waiting on them is +called <i>init</i> and has a process ID of 1.</p> + +<p>The sending of a SIGHUP to the foreground process group when a controlling process terminates corresponds to somewhat different +historical implementations. In System V, the kernel sends a SIGHUP on termination of (essentially) a controlling process. In 4.2 +BSD, the kernel does not send SIGHUP in a case like this, but the termination of a controlling process is usually noticed by a +system daemon, which arranges to send a SIGHUP to the foreground process group with the <i>vhangup</i>() function. However, in 4.2 +BSD, due to the behavior of the shells that support job control, the controlling process is usually a shell with no other processes +in its process group. Thus, a change to make <i>_exit</i>() behave this way in such systems should not cause problems with existing +applications.</p> + +<p>The termination of a process may cause a process group to become orphaned in either of two ways. The connection of a process +group to its parent(s) outside of the group depends on both the parents and their children. Thus, a process group may be orphaned +by the termination of the last connecting parent process outside of the group or by the termination of the last direct descendant +of the parent process(es). In either case, if the termination of a process causes a process group to become orphaned, processes +within the group are disconnected from their job control shell, which no longer has any information on the existence of the process +group. Stopped processes within the group would languish forever. In order to avoid this problem, newly orphaned process groups +that contain stopped processes are sent a SIGHUP signal and a SIGCONT signal to indicate that they have been disconnected from +their session. The SIGHUP signal causes the process group members to terminate unless they are catching or ignoring SIGHUP. Under +most circumstances, all of the members of the process group are stopped if any of them are stopped.</p> + +<p>The action of sending a SIGHUP and a SIGCONT signal to members of a newly orphaned process group is similar to the action of 4.2 +BSD, which sends SIGHUP and SIGCONT to each stopped child of an exiting process. If such children exit in response to the SIGHUP, +any additional descendants receive similar treatment at that time. In this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, the signals +are sent to the entire process group at the same time. Also, in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, but not in 4.2 BSD, +stopped processes may be orphaned, but may be members of a process group that is not orphaned; therefore, the action taken at +<i>_exit</i>() must consider processes other than child processes.</p> + +<p>It is possible for a process group to be orphaned by a call to <a href="../functions/setpgid.html"><i>setpgid</i>()</a> or <a +href="../functions/setsid.html"><i>setsid</i>()</a>, as well as by process termination. This volume of +IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does not require sending SIGHUP and SIGCONT in those cases, because, unlike process termination, +those cases are not caused accidentally by applications that are unaware of job control. An implementation can choose to send +SIGHUP and SIGCONT in those cases as an extension; such an extension must be documented as required in <a href= +"../basedefs/signal.h.html"><i><signal.h></i></a>.</p> + +<p>The ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard adds the <i>_Exit</i>() function that results in immediate program termination without +triggering signals or <a href="../functions/atexit.html"><i>atexit</i>()</a>-registered functions.
