Is DllMain's DLL_PROCESS_DETACH called when process is killed?

I have a dll with DllMain() function defined as below.

Code:

---

int DllMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID /*pReserved*/)
{
    BOOL fRet = TRUE;

    switch (dwReason)
    {
    case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
        {
            ...Do some initialization... 
        }
        break;

    case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
        {
            ...Do some uninitialization...
        }
        break;
    }

    return fRet;
}

Let's say that we load a dll file in an exe file. If we kill the running instance of that exe file, would DLL_PROCESS_DETACH part of the DllMain function of the dll file be called properly? Or would the DllMain function be called only when FreeLibrary(...) invocation is made from the exe file on the dll?

The lpReserved parameter indicates whether the DLL is being unloaded as a result of a FreeLibrary call, a failure to load, or process termination.

The DLL can use this opportunity to call the TlsFree function to free any TLS indices allocated by using TlsAlloc and to free any thread local data.

Note that the thread that receives the DLL_PROCESS_DETACH notification is not necessarily the same thread that received the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH notification.

Looks like it is called when the process is terminated, not just when FreeLibrary is called. Of course this can easily be verified in 5 minutes by writing a test application.

It is called whenever a process detaches, so if the process terminates or the process calls FreeLibrary().
