NAME
Tcl_Exit, Tcl_Finalize, Tcl_FinalizeThread,
Tcl_CreateExitHandler, Tcl_DeleteExitHandler,
Tcl_CreateThreadExitHandler, Tcl_DeleteThreadExitHandler -
end the application or thread (and invoke exit handlers)
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_Exit(status)
Tcl_Finalize()
Tcl_CreateExitHandler(proc, clientData)
Tcl_DeleteExitHandler(proc, clientData)
Tcl_ExitThread(status)
Tcl_FinalizeThread()
Tcl_CreateThreadExitHandler(proc, clientData)
Tcl_DeleteThreadExitHandler(proc, clientData)
ARGUMENTS
int status (in) Provides information
about why the applica-
tion or thread exited.
Exact meaning may be
platform-specific. 0
usually means a normal
exit, any nonzero
value usually means
that an error
occurred.
Tcl_ExitProc *proc (in) Procedure to invoke
before exiting appli-
cation.
ClientData clientData (in) Arbitrary one-word
value to pass to proc.

DESCRIPTION
The procedures described here provide a graceful mechanism
to end the execution of a Tcl application. Exit handlers are
invoked to cleanup the application's state before ending the
execution of Tcl code.
Invoke Tcl_Exit to end a Tcl application and to exit from
this process. This procedure is invoked by the exit command,
and can be invoked anyplace else to terminate the applica-
tion. No-one should ever invoke the exit system procedure
directly; always invoke Tcl_Exit instead, so that it can
invoke exit handlers. Note that if other code invokes exit
system procedure directly, or otherwise causes the applica-
tion to terminate without calling Tcl_Exit, the exit
handlers will not be run. Tcl_Exit internally invokes the
exit system call, thus it never returns control to its
caller.
Tcl_Finalize is similar to Tcl_Exit except that it does not
exit from the current process. It is useful for cleaning up
when a process is finished using Tcl but wishes to continue
executing, and when Tcl is used in a dynamically loaded
extension that is about to be unloaded. On some systems Tcl
is automatically notified when it is being unloaded, and it
calls Tcl_Finalize internally; on these systems it not
necessary for the caller to explicitly call Tcl_Finalize.
However, to ensure portability, your code should always
invoke Tcl_Finalize when Tcl is being unloaded, to ensure
that the code will work on all platforms. Tcl_Finalize can
be safely called more than once.
Tcl_ExitThread is used to terminate the current thread and |
invoke per-thread exit handlers. This finalization is done |
by Tcl_FinalizeThread, which you can call if you just want |
to clean up per-thread state and invoke the thread exit |
handlers. Tcl_Finalize calls Tcl_FinalizeThread for the |
current thread automatically.
Tcl_CreateExitHandler arranges for proc to be invoked by
Tcl_Finalize and Tcl_Exit. Tcl_CreateThreadExitHandler
arranges for proc to be invoked by Tcl_FinalizeThread and
Tcl_ExitThread. This provides a hook for cleanup operations
such as flushing buffers and freeing global memory. Proc
should match the type Tcl_ExitProc:
typedef void Tcl_ExitProc(ClientData clientData);
The clientData parameter to proc is a copy of the clientData
argument given to Tcl_CreateExitHandler or
Tcl_CreateThreadExitHandler when the callback was created.
Typically, clientData points to a data structure containing
application-specific information about what to do in proc.
Tcl_DeleteExitHandler and Tcl_DeleteThreadExitHandler may be
called to delete a previously-created exit handler. It
removes the handler indicated by proc and clientData so that
no call to proc will be made. If no such handler exists
then Tcl_DeleteExitHandler or Tcl_DeleteThreadExitHandler
does nothing.
Tcl_Finalize and Tcl_Exit execute all registered exit |
handlers, in reverse order from the order in which they were |
registered. This matches the natural order in which exten- |
sions are loaded and unloaded; if extension A loads exten- |
sion B, it usually unloads B before it itself is unloaded. |
If extension A registers its exit handlers before loading |
extension B, this ensures that any exit handlers for B will |
be executed before the exit handlers for A. |
Tcl_Finalize and Tcl_Exit call Tcl_FinalizeThread and the |
thread exit handlers after the process-wide exit handlers. |
This is because thread finalization shuts down the I/O chan- |
nel system, so any attempt at I/O by the global exit |
handlers will vanish into the bitbucket.
