That is what it aiming. When using this as tool for userspace you
would like to know when the task is done. When it no longer
holds any thing that might have any impact. If you think the
exit imply something more specific I can change the name.

I thought exit was a good name, it is in in exit.c.

Will the name task_done, task_finished or task_reaped work for you?
