SYNOPSIS

9       #include <stdlib.h>
10
11       void abort(void);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  abort()  function  causes  abnormal program termination unless the
15       signal SIGABRT is caught and the signal handler does  not  return.   If
16       the  abort()  function causes program termination, all open streams are
17       closed and flushed.
18
19       If the SIGABRT signal is blocked or ignored, the abort() function  will
20       still override it.
21

RETURN VALUE

23       The abort() function never returns.
