28.Sh DESCRIPTION
29The
30.Fn pr_exit
31function injects the
32.Xr exit 2
33system call into the target process
34.Fa P
35by means of the agent LWP.
36If the process handle
37.Fa P
38is
39.Dv NULL
40then this is equivalent to calling

42on the currently running process.
43.Pp
44The argument
45.Fa status
46has the same meaning as in

51.Sy exit
52system call and its arguments.
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn pr_exit
56function only works on active processes.
57Process handles that correspond to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects
58do not support system call injection.
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60Upon successful completion, the
61.Fn pr_exit
62function's return value is that described in
63.Xr exit 2 .
64Otherwise,
65.Sy -1
66is returned and
67.Sy errno
68is set to
69.Er ENOSYS
70to indicate that the system call could not be injected.
71.Pp
72If the
73.Fn pr_exit
74function is called with the value of
75.Fa P
76set to
77.Dv NULL ,
78then the function will not return.

89.It Er ENOSYS
90An error occurred while trying to invoke the agent LWP and inject a
