ABORT(T)            Linux Programmer's Manual            ABORT(T)



NAME
       abort - cause abnormal program termination

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       void abort(t);

DESCRIPTION
       The  abort()  function causes abnormal program termination
       unless the signal SIGABRT is caught and the signal handler
       does  not  return.  If the abort() function causes program
       termination, all open streams are closed and flushed.

       If the SIGABRT signal is blocked or ignored,  the  abort()
       function will still override it.

RETURN VALUE
       The abort() function never returns.
