29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn pr_exit
32function injects the
33.Xr exit 2
34system call into the target process
35.Fa P
36by means of the agent LWP.
37If the process handle
38.Fa P
39is
40.Dv NULL
41then this is equivalent to calling
42.Xr exit 2
43on the currently running process.
44.Pp
45The argument
46.Fa status
47has the same meaning as in

52.Sy exit
53system call and its arguments.
54.Pp
55The
56.Fn pr_exit
57function only works on active processes.
58Process handles that correspond to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects
59do not support system call injection.
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61Upon successful completion, the
62.Fn pr_exit
63function's return value is that described in
64.Xr exit 2 .
65Otherwise,
66.Sy -1
67is returned and
68.Sy errno
69is set to
70.Er ENOSYS
71to indicate that the system call could not be injected.
72.Pp
73If the
74.Fn pr_exit
75function is called with the value of
76.Fa P
77set to
78.Dv NULL ,
79then the function will not return.

87.Fn pr_exit
88function will fail if:
89.Bl -tag -width Er
90.It Er ENOSYS
91An error occurred while trying to invoke the agent LWP and inject a
