What will Environment.FailFast do in .NET Core, when deployed to a Linux environment?

Question

The docs for this method say:

Immediately terminates a process after writing a message to the Windows Application event log, and then includes the message and optional exception information in error reporting to Microsoft.

But what about when deployed to a Linux environment where there's no EventLog or Windows Error Reporting?

I want the benefit of being able to immediately terminate the console app in this way, but it's unclear if this is the right method to use. Is there a better approach for Linux?

The plan is to have my console app running in a Linux container. I'd like the app to be able to terminate, and thus cause the container to terminate, so the infrastructure can spin up a new one. However, I am just getting started with Docker (and my Linux skills are very rusty). So I'm at a loss here...

I will likely have to spin up a small sample and just tinker around, but was hoping to ask the question here in case anyone could provide a quicker answer.

TIA

Nothing like trying it out!

using System;

namespace testing
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
            System.Environment.FailFast("oh shoot");
            Console.WriteLine("Bye!");
        }
    }
}

Gives me

/tmp/testing$ dotnet run
Hello World!
FailFast:
oh shoot

   at System.Environment.FailFast(System.String, System.Exception)
   at System.Environment.FailFast(System.String)
   at testing.Program.Main(System.String[])

I did not see any additional log messages in anything in /var/log . So I guess it just exists fast and dumps a log to the console.
