ABORT(3C)							     ABORT(3C)

NAME
       abort - terminate the process abnormally

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       void abort(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  abort()  function  causes  abnormal	 process termination to occur,
       unless the signal SIGABRT is being caught and the signal	 handler  does
       not  return.  The abnormal termination processing includes at least the
       effect of fclose(3C) on all open streams and message catalogue descrip‐
       tors,  and  the default actions defined for SIGABRT. The SIGABRT signal
       is sent to the calling process as if by means of the raise(3C) function
       with the argument SIGABRT.

       The  status  made available to wait(3C) or waitpid(3C) by abort will be
       that of a process terminated by the SIGABRT signal.  abort  will	 over‐
       ride blocking or ignoring the SIGABRT signal.

RETURN VALUES
       The abort() function does not return.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

USAGE
       Catching	 the signal is intended to provide the application writer with
       a portable means to abort processing, free from	possible  interference
       from any implementation-provided library functions.  If SIGABRT is nei‐
       ther caught nor ignored, and the current directory is writable, a  core
       dump may be produced.
