SYNOPSIS
       #include <linux/unistd.h>

       void exit_group(int status);

       thread, but all threads in the calling process's thread group.

RETURN VALUE

VERSIONS
       This call is present since Linux 2.5.35.

CONFORMING TO

NOTES
       Since glibc 2.3, this is the system call invoked when  the  exit(2)  wrapper  function  is
       called.
