INTERFACE RTProcess;
This interface provides the runtime shutdown routines.

PROCEDURE RegisterExitor (p: PROCEDURE ());
Registers the procedure p to be executed when Exit is called. The registered procedures are executed in reverse of the order they were registered.

PROCEDURE Exit (n: INTEGER);
call the registered exitors and terminate the program with status n. Terminating a Modula-3 program by ``falling off the end'' is like calling Exit(0).

PROCEDURE Crash (msg: TEXT);
Call the registered exitors and terminate the program with the error message msg. If possible, invoke a debugger or generate a core dump.

PROCEDURE InvokeExitors ();
Run the registered exit procedures, at most once.

PROCEDURE OnInterrupt (p: InterruptHandler): InterruptHandler;
Register 'p' as the handler to be called on the next interrupt signal and return the currently registered handler. Note that 'p' must be NIL or a top-level procedure.

TYPE InterruptHandler = PROCEDURE ();

PROCEDURE RegisterInterruptSetup (enable, disable: PROCEDURE ());
Registers enable and disable as the machine-specific setup procedures to enable and disable respectively control-C handling.

END RTProcess.
