Manpages - exit_group.2

exit_group - exit all threads in a process

  #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).

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.

This system call does not return.

This call is present since Linux 2.5.35.

This call is Linux-specific.

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

*exit*(2)
