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!
