Call to undefined function user_logout()

How can i call this in my template.php file?
I want to automatically log out user if they use that theme.

Suggestion

Greetings.
I have a suggestion for improvement for this function.
Soon after the session_destroy (), could be placed a drupal_set_message () to warn the user of the reason for the logout.
Would be as follows:

function user_logout($message = '', $status = 'warning') {
  global $user;

  watchdog('user', 'Session closed for %name.', array('%name' => $user->name));

  module_invoke_all('user_logout', $user);

  // Destroy the current session, and reset $user to the anonymous user.
  session_destroy();

// Sends a message to the user if you have a need to warn you
  if(!empty($message)){
      drupal_set_message($message, $status);
  }
  drupal_goto();
}

Why is this suggestion?
When I'm using hook_user_login and for some reason need to kill the session user can not I put after user_logout drupal_set_message () why there is a drupal_goto () and also no point in putting before why there is a session.destroy () which kills with the entire session.

The only way I saw to solve this is after putting session.destroy ().

I have an imporovment on this function, why not have a paramater with default value to indicate where to go after the logout.

<?php
function user_logout($destination = '') {
  global $user;

  watchdog('user', 'Session closed for %name.', array('%name' => $user->name));

  module_invoke_all('user_logout', $user);

  // Destroy the current session, and reset $user to the anonymous user.
  session_destroy();

  drupal_goto($destination);
}
?>

i agree with artofeclipse, but the destination should be provided by the hook, so it should be possible to interact and change the destination by changing the destination and the user_logout function redirects to this destination

Couldn't you just

Couldn't you just do...

mymodule_user_logout($account) {
  $_GET['destination'] = 'path/to/redirect/to/after/logout';
}
