NAME
     _lwp_exit - terminate the calling light-weight process

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <lwp.h>

DESCRIPTION

     created in a detached state, then the system will not reclaim its LWP ID
     until its status is reported to another LWP in the process via
     _lwp_wait(2).

RETURN VALUES
     _lwp_exit() can never return.
