NAME

assert - program verification  

SYNOPSIS

#include <assert.h>

assert (expression)  

DESCRIPTION

Assert is a macro that indicates expression is expected to be true at this point in the program. It causes an exit(2) with a diagnostic comment on the standard output when expression is false (0). Compiling with the cc(1) option -DNDEBUG effectively deletes assert from the program.  

DIAGNOSTICS

`Assertion failed: file f line n.' F is the source file and n the source line number of the assert statement.
