firestring_set_error_handler(3) Library Functions Manual firestring_set_error_handler(3)NAME
firestring_set_error_handler - set the function to be called on an allocation failure
SYNOPSIS
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
void firestring_set_error_handler(void (*e)())
DESCRIPTION
firestring_set_error_handler() takes the name of a function that takes no parameters and returns void. This function will be called when-
ever firestring fails to allocate memory.
As memory allocation failures are fatal to most programs, firestring does not return errors when functions fail to allocate memory; it sim-
ply calls this function, which it expects to call exit() or abort() or in some way terminate execution of the program. It probably is not
safe to pass a function that returns, unless you have a framework in place for passing the allocation failure information back to the code
calling the firestring function.
The default function calls perror() and then exit().
RETURN VALUE
None

ATEXIT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ATEXIT(3)NAME
atexit -- register a function to be called on exit
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int
atexit(void (*function)(void));
int
atexit_b(void (^function)(void));
DESCRIPTION
The atexit() function registers the given function to be called at program exit, whether via exit(3) or via return from the program's main().
Functions so registered are called in reverse order; no arguments are passed.
These functions must not call exit(); if it should be necessary to terminate the process while in such a function, the _exit(2) function
should be used. (Alternatively, the function may cause abnormal process termination, for example by calling abort(3).)
At least 32 functions can always be registered, and more are allowed as long as sufficient memory can be allocated.
The atexit_b() function behaves identically to atexit(), except that it takes a block, rather than a function pointer.
RETURN VALUES
The atexit() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
the error.
ERRORS
[ENOMEM] No memory was available to add the function to the list. The existing list of functions is unmodified.
[ENOSYS] The atexit_b() function was called by a program that did not supply a _Block_copy() implementation.
SEE ALSO at_quick_exit(3), exit(3)STANDARDS
The atexit() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
