+[section Header <boost/core/quick_exit.hpp>]
+
+The header `<boost/core/quick_exit.hpp>` defines the function
+`void boost::quick_exit(int code)`. It calls the standard C++11 function
+[@https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/quick_exit
+ `std::quick_exit(code)`], if that is available, and otherwise exits the
+ process via [@https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/_Exit
+ `std::_Exit(code)`] or equivalent.
