     If it comes down to that, it would be much better, in my opinion,

     #include <signal.h>
     
     int main(void) 
     {
         kill(getppid(), SIGTERM);
     }


That would kill the wrong process. It would send a signal to the shell
from which the program is run; not the parent of that shell.
