        !            18: .I _exit
        !            19: terminates a process with the following consequences:
        !            20: .in +5n
        !            21: .PP
        !            22: All of the descriptors open in the calling process are closed.
        !            23: This may entail delays, for example, waiting for output to drain;
        !            24: a process in this state may not be killed, as it is already dying.
        !            25: .PP
        !            26: If the parent process of the calling process is executing a
        !            27: .I wait
        !            28: or is interested in the SIGCHLD signal,
        !            29: then it is notified of the calling process's termination and
        !            30: the low-order eight bits of \fIstatus\fP are made available to it;
        !            31: see
        !            32: .IR wait (2).
        !            33: .PP
        !            34: The parent process ID of all of the calling process's existing child
        !            35: processes are also set to 1.  This means that the initialization process
        !            36: (see 
        !            37: .IR intro (2))
        !            38: inherits each of these processes as well.
        !            39: Any stopped children are restarted with a hangup signal (SIGHUP).

        !            42: Most C programs call the library routine
