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.

VERSIONS

       This call is present since Linux 2.5.35.

STANDARDS

       This call is Linux-specific.

NOTES

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