ABORT(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		      ABORT(3)

NAME
       abort - cause abnormal process termination

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       void abort(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  abort()  first  unblocks  the SIGABRT signal, and then raises that
       signal for the calling process (as though raise(3) was  called).	  This
       results	in  the abnormal termination of the process unless the SIGABRT
       signal  is  caught  and	the  signal  handler  does  not	 return	  (see
       longjmp(3)).

       If  the SIGABRT signal is ignored, or caught by a handler that returns,
       the abort() function will still terminate the process.  It does this by
       restoring the default disposition for SIGABRT and then raising the sig‐
       nal for a second time.

RETURN VALUE
       The abort() function never returns.

NOTES
       Up  until  glibc	 2.26, if the abort() function caused process termina‐
       tion, all open streams were closed and  flushed	(as  with  fclose(3)).
       However,	 in some cases this could result in deadlocks and data corrup‐
       tion.  Therefore, starting with	glibc  2.27,  abort()  terminates  the
       process	without	 flushing  streams.   POSIX.1  permits either possible
       behavior, saying	 that  abort()	"may  include  an  attempt  to	effect
       fclose() on all open streams".
