exitnow — Exit Csound as fast as possible, with no cleaning up.
In Csound4 calls an exit function to leave Csound as fast as possible. On Csound5 and later it exits back to the driving code.
Stops Csound on the initialisation cycle, returning the result ivalue, which defaults to zero. Note that it is usual for this opcode to be alone in an instrument.
Here is an example of the exitnow opcode. Play exitnow.csd
