4. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
exit

   1.  A library function in the C and Unix
   run-time library that causes the program to terminate and
   return control to the shell.  The alternative to calling
   "exit" is simply to "fall off the end" of the program or its
   top-level, main, routine.

   Equivalent functions, possibly with different names, exist in
   pretty much every programming language, e.g. "exit" in
   Microsoft DOS or "END" in BASIC.

   On exit, the run-time system closes open files and releases
   other resources.  An exit status code (a small integer, with
   zero meaning OK and other values typically indicating some
   kind of error) can be passed as the only argument to "exit";
   this will be made available to the shell.  Some languages
   allow the programmer to set up exit handler code which will be
   called before the standard system clean-up actions.

   2. Any point in a piece of code where control is returned to
   the caller, possibly activating one or more user-provided exit
   handlers.  This might be a return statement, exit call (in
   sense 1 above) or code that raises an error condition (either
   intentionally or unintentionally).  If the exit is from the
   top-level routine then such a point would typically terminate
   the whole program, as in sense 1.
