Nope there are some unix resources that c exit routines do not free like semaphores.
"C exit routines" aren't responsible for freeing OS resources; the OS
is.
The fact that the SysV IPC objects aren't freed on exit is
intentional; they are meant to be persistent. For the same reason, the
OS doesn't delete upon termination any files which the process
created.
