I'll forward these 2 mails to the mailing list (and Michael (mtk) too;
maybe he can correct me).
I'll answer in a reply to this email.

Hello, Alejandro.
Pages this <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_2.html> and
this <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscalls.2.html> have
different count of 'exit' calls, 4 and 2 respectively.
According to these pages
(<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl>,
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl>),
there are only 2 system calls containing 'exit' - *exit* and
*exit_group*. So it seems '_Exit' and '_exit' are redundant here
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_2.html>. Please correct me
if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, Alejandro.
Entry exit(2) on this
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_2.html> page directs to
page with _exit(2) in the header.
According to these pages
(<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl>,
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl>),
system call itself is called *exit* so it would be nice to fix the
header to avoid the confusion. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance!
