+/// Terminates the current process with the specified exit code.
+///
+/// This function will never return and will immediately terminate the current
+/// process. The exit code is passed through to the underlying OS and will be
+/// available for consumption by another process.
+///
+/// Note that because this function never returns, and that it terminates the
+/// process, no destructors on the current stack or any other thread's stack
+/// will be run. If a clean shutdown is needed it is recommended to only call
+/// this function at a known point where there are no more destructors left
+/// to run.
