ABORT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ABORT(3)NAMEabort - cause abnormal program termination
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
void abort(void);
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.
