libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The quick_exit() function causes the calling program to exit normally without completely cleaning up resources. All functions registered with the at_quick_exit() function are called.
The return status is made available to the parent process; status is typically set to EXIT_SUCCESS to indicate successful termination and set to EXIT_FAILURE or some other value to indicate an error.
The quick_exit() function doesn't return.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) { FILE *fp; if( argc <= 1 ) { fprintf( stderr, "Missing argument\n" ); quick_exit( EXIT_FAILURE ); } fp = fopen( argv[1], "r" ); if( fp == NULL ) { fprintf( stderr, "Unable to open '%s'\n", argv[1] ); quick_exit( EXIT_FAILURE ); } fclose( fp ); quick_exit( EXIT_SUCCESS ); /* You'll never get here; this prevents compiler warnings about "function has no return value". */ return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
