Description:
------------
There should be a note added to the documentation on register_shutdown_function 
that the callbacks will not be run if the process is killed via SIGTERM/SIGKILL, 
however they will run if SIGTERM is intercepted with pcntl_signal and the callback 
causes the script to exit cleanly; i.e. pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, function() { exit; 
});

Given the semantics of SIGTERM (request a clean shutdown of the process), it's 
unintuitive to not get the behavior of using "exit;", although I can see the 
reasoning for doing so.

Log: Adding a note that shutdown functions won't be executed if the script gets a SIGTERM or SIGKILL, though you can pcntl_signal() for the TERM and exit;. (doc #63275)

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Committed requinix's patch.
