Difference between Exit (system call) and Wait (system call)

Exit (system call) vs. Wait (system call)

On many computer operating systems, a computer process terminates its execution by making an exit system call. In computer operating systems, a process (or task) may wait on another process to complete its execution.

Abnormal end

An AbEnd (also abnormal end or abend) is an abnormal termination of software, or a program crash.

Child process

A child process in computing is a process created by another process (the parent process).

Exit status

The exit status of a process in computer programming is a small number passed from a child process (or callee) to a parent process (or caller) when it has finished executing a specific procedure or delegated task.

Fork (system call)

In computing, particularly in the context of the Unix operating system and its workalikes, fork is an operation whereby a process creates a copy of itself.

Orphan process

An orphan process is a computer process whose parent process has finished or terminated, though it remains running itself.

Signal (IPC)

Signals are a limited form of inter-process communication (IPC), typically used in Unix, Unix-like, and other POSIX-compliant operating systems.

System call

In computing, a system call is the programmatic way in which a computer program requests a service from the kernel of the operating system it is executed on.

Task (computing)

In computing, a task is a unit of execution or a unit of work.

Thread (computing)

In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system.

Zombie process

On Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems, a zombie process or defunct process is a process that has completed execution (via the exit system call) but still has an entry in the process table: it is a process in the "Terminated state".
