Function list (Bold in this list means a function is not static)

/* exit_handlers.c

   Demonstrate the use of atexit(3) and on_exit(3), which can be used to
   register functions (commonly known as "exit handlers") to be called at
   normal process exit. (These functions are not called if the process does
   an _exit(2) or if it is terminated by a signal.)

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
