43 -- | Computation 'exitWith' @code@ throws 'ExitException' @code@.
44 -- Normally this terminates the program, returning @code@ to the
45 -- program's caller. Before the program terminates, any open or
46 -- semi-closed handles are first closed.
48 -- A program that fails in any other way is treated as if it had
49 -- called 'exitFailure'.
50 -- A program that terminates successfully without calling 'exitWith'
51 -- explicitly is treated as it it had called 'exitWith' 'ExitSuccess'.
53 -- As an 'ExitException' is not an 'IOError', 'exitWith' bypasses
54 -- the error handling in the 'IO' monad and cannot be intercepted by
55 -- 'catch' from the "Prelude". However it is an 'Exception', and can
56 -- be caught using the functions of "Control.Exception". This means
57 -- that cleanup computations added with 'Control.Exception.bracket'
58 -- (from "Control.Exception") are also executed properly on 'exitWith'.
