The ExitProcess function terminates the calling process and all its threads.

UINT uExitCode
);

Remarks
- The ExitProcess function terminates the calling process and all its threads. The calling process's registered terminate routines are not called.
- If the process is a console process, the system does not signal the running threads in other processes that the process has exited.
- If the process is a GUI process, the system does not signal the running threads in other processes that the process has exited.
- To enable your application to handle the termination of the calling process in a controlled manner, use the SetConsoleCtrlHandler function.
- To terminate a thread, use the ExitThread function.
