C does not support exceptions. 

C does support asynchronous signals, which may be used to fake exception handling.  The signals defined by the standard are:

SIGABRT: abnormal termination
SIGFPE: erroneous arithmetic operation such as divide by 0
SIGILL: illegal instruction
SIGINT: receipt of interactive attention signal
SIGSEGV: invalid memory access
SIGTERM: termination request sent to program

An implementation may define additional signal values.
