     DESCRIPTION
          Exit terminates the calling process with the following
          consequences:

               All of the file descriptors open in the calling process
               are closed.

               If the parent process of the calling process is
               executing a wait , it is notified of the calling
               process's termination and the low order eight bits
               (i.e., bits 0377) of status are made available to it;
               see wait (2).

               If the parent process of the calling process is not
               executing a wait , the calling process is transformed
               into a zombie process.  A "zombie process" is a process
               that only occupies a slot in the process table, it has
               no other space allocated either in user or kernel
               space.  The process table slot that it occupies is
               partially overlaid with time accounting information
               (see <sys/proc.h> ) to be used by times.

               The parent process ID of all of the calling process's
               existing child processes  and zombie processes is set
               to 1.  This means the initialization process (see intro
               (2)) inherits each of these processes.

               An accounting record is written on the accounting file
               if the system's accounting routine is enabled; see acct
               (2).

               If the process ID, tty group ID, and process group ID
               of the calling process are equal, the SIGHUP signal is
               sent to each processes that has a process group ID
               equal to that of the calling process.
