+<p>Several cleanup steps are performed:</p>
+<ul>
+<li> functions passed to <code><a href="atexit" title="c/program/atexit">atexit</a></code> are called, in reverse order of registration </li>
+<li> all C streams are flushed and closed </li>
+<li> files created by <code><a href="../io/tmpfile" title="c/io/tmpfile">tmpfile</a></code> are removed </li>
+<li> control is returned to the host environment. If <code>exit_code</code> is zero or <code><a href="exit_status" title="c/program/EXIT status">EXIT_SUCCESS</a></code>, an implementation-defined status indicating successful termination is returned. If <code>exit_code</code> is <code><a href="exit_status" title="c/program/EXIT status">EXIT_FAILURE</a></code>, an implementation-defined status indicating unsuccessful termination is returned. In other cases implementation-defined status value is returned. </li>
+</ul> <h3 id="Notes"> Notes</h3> <p>The functions registered with <code><a href="at_quick_exit" title="c/program/at quick exit">at_quick_exit</a></code> are not called.</p>
+<p>The behavior is undefined if a program calls <code>exit</code> more than once, or if it calls <code>exit</code> and <code><a href="quick_exit" title="c/program/quick exit">quick_exit</a></code></p>
+<p>The behavior is undefined if during a call to a function registered with <code><a href="atexit" title="c/program/atexit">atexit</a></code>, the function exits with <code><a href="longjmp" title="c/program/longjmp">longjmp</a></code>.</p>
+<p>Returning from the <a href="../language/main_function" title="c/language/main function">the main function</a>, either by a <code>return</code> statement or by reaching the end of the function, executes <code>exit()</code>, passing the argument of the return statement (or <code>​0​</code> if implicit return was used) as <code>exit_code</code>.</p>
