An exited processor is removed from the 22processor set to which it was assigned and ceases to be active. 23The interpretation of 24this operation is machine dependent. 25<h3>NOTES</h3> 26<p> 27This operation is machine dependent. It may do nothing. 28<h3>CAUTIONS</h3> 29<p> 30The ability to restart an exited processor is machine dependent. 31<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3> 32<dl> 33<dt> <strong>KERN_FAILURE</strong> 34<dd> 35The operation was not performed. A likely reason is that it 36is not supported on this processor. 37</dl> 38<h3>RELATED INFORMATION</h3> 39<p> 40Functions: 41<a href="processor_control.html">processor_control</a>, 42<a href="processor_start.html">processor_start</a>, 43<a href="processor_info.html">processor_info</a>, 44<a href="host_processors.html">host_processors</a>. 45
