exit
Action
void exit(int status)
The exit
action is used to immediately stop tracing, and to inform the DTrace consumer that it should cease tracing, perform any final processing, and call exit
with the status specified. Because exit
returns a status to user-level, it is a data recording action, However, unlike other data storing actions, exit
cannot be speculatively traced. exit
will cause the DTrace consumer to exit regardless of buffer policy. Because exit
is a data recording action, it can be dropped.
When exit
is called, only DTrace actions already in progress on other CPUs will be completed. No new actions will occur on any CPU. The only exception to this rule is the processing of the END
probe, which will be called after the DTrace consumer has processed the exit
action and indicated that tracing should stop.
