       vhangup():
           Since glibc 2.21:
               _DEFAULT_SOURCE
           In glibc 2.19 and 2.20:
               _DEFAULT_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
           Up to and including glibc 2.19:
               _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)

DESCRIPTION

       vhangup()  simulates  a  hangup  on  the  current terminal.  This call arranges for other users to have a
       “clean” terminal at login time.

RETURN VALUE

ERRORS

       EPERM  The  calling  process  has  insufficient  privilege  to  call  vhangup();  the  CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG
              capability is required.
