NAME

abort - abort the current program  

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

void abort(void);
 

DESCRIPTION

abort does the work of exit, but instead of just exiting, abort causes SIGABRT to be sent to the calling process. After sending the signal, abort does an exit(127). Whether or not the atexit routines will be called seems to be somewhat timing-sensitive.  

RETURN VALUES

abort does not return.  

SEE ALSO

exit(3), kill(3), signal(3)
