1003.1, 3.2 "Process Termination"
There are two kinds of process termination:
(1) Normal termination occurs by a return from main() or when requested
with the exit() or _exit() functions.
(2) Abnormal termination occurs when requested by the abort() function
or when some signals are received (see 3.3.1.1).
[...] the status made available to wait() or waitpid() by abort() shall
be that of a process terminated by the SIGABRT signal.
