<h4><a name="tag_03_32_01"></a>NAME</h4>
<blockquote>atexit - register a function to run at process termination</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_32_02"></a>SYNOPSIS</h4>
<blockquote class="synopsis">
<p><code><tt>#include &lt;<a href="../basedefs/stdlib.h.html">stdlib.h</a>&gt;<br>
<br>
int atexit(void (*</tt><i>func</i><tt>)(void));<br>
</tt></code></p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_32_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<div class="box"><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]"
border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>The <i>atexit</i>() function shall register the function pointed to by <i>func</i>, to be called without arguments at normal
program termination. At normal program termination, all functions registered by the <i>atexit</i>() function shall be called, in
the reverse order of their registration, except that a function is called after any previously registered functions that had
already been called at the time it was registered. Normal termination occurs either by a call to <a href=
"../functions/exit.html"><i>exit</i>()</a> or a return from <i>main</i>().</p>
<p>At least 32 functions can be registered with <i>atexit</i>().</p>
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0">
After a successful call to any of the <i><a href="../functions/exec.html">exec</a></i> functions, any functions previously
registered by <i>atexit</i>() shall no longer be registered. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_32_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>atexit</i>() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_32_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>No errors are defined.</p>

</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_32_07"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The functions registered by a call to <i>atexit</i>() must return to ensure that all registered functions are called.</p>
<p>The application should call <a href="../functions/sysconf.html"><i>sysconf</i>()</a> to obtain the value of {ATEXIT_MAX}, the
number of functions that can be registered. There is no way for an application to tell how many functions have already been
registered with <i>atexit</i>().</p>

<p>None.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_32_09"></a>FUTURE DIRECTIONS</h4>
