In C programming, there are two ways to terminate a program from the main function: using return and using exit(). int main() { printf("Hello, World!"); return 0; // Method 1: Normal termination } int main() { printf("Hello, World!"); exit(0); // Method 2：Normal termination } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Why can both methods terminate the program correctly, even though they appear completely different?In this article, we'll unravel this mystery by understanding how C programs actually start and terminate.Note that this article focuses on the implementation in GNU/Linux environments, specifically using glibc. First, let's examine how the exit function works…
