<B>on_exit</B>():
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since&nbsp;glibc&nbsp;2.19:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_DEFAULT_SOURCE
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glibc&nbsp;2.19&nbsp;and&nbsp;earlier:

<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>on_exit</B>()
function registers the given
<I>function</I>
to be
called at normal process termination, whether via
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+exit">exit</A></B>(3)
or via return from the program's
<I>main</I>().
The
<I>function</I>
is passed the status argument given to the last call to
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+exit">exit</A></B>(3)
and the
<I>arg</I>
argument from
<B>on_exit</B>().
<P>
The same function may be registered multiple times:
it is called once for each registration.
<P>
When a child process is created via
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+fork">fork</A></B>(2),
it inherits copies of its parent's registrations.
Upon a successful call to one of the
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+exec">exec</A></B>(3)
functions, all registrations are removed.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
The
<B>on_exit</B>()
function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise
it returns a nonzero value.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ATTRIBUTES</H2>

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
This function comes from SunOS 4, but is also present in glibc.
It no longer occurs in Solaris (SunOS 5).
Portable application should avoid this function, and use the standard
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+atexit">atexit</A></B>(3)
instead.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
By the time
<I>function</I>
is executed, stack
(<I>auto</I>)
variables may already have gone out of scope.
Therefore,
<I>arg</I>
should not be a pointer to a stack variable;
it may however be a pointer to a heap variable or a global variable.
