ATEXIT(3) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual ATEXIT(3)NAMEatexit - register a function to be called on exit
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int
atexit(void (*function)(void));
DESCRIPTION
The atexit() function registers the given function to be called at
program exit, whether via exit(3) or via return from the program's
main(). Functions so registered are called in reverse order; no
arguments are passed. At least 32 functions can always be registered,
and more are allowed as long as sufficient memory can be allocated.
atexit() is very difficult to use correctly without creating exit(3)-time
races. Unless absolutely necessary, please avoid using it.
RETURN VALUES
The atexit() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
[ENOMEM] No memory was available to add the function to the list.
The existing list of functions is unmodified.
SEE ALSOexit(3)STANDARDS
The atexit() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
