NAME

       abort - cause abnormal program termination


SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       void abort(void);


DESCRIPTION

       The  abort()  function causes abnormal program termination
       unless the signal SIGABORT is caught and the  signal  han-
       dler does not return.  If the abort() function causes pro-
       gram termination, all open streams are closed and flushed.

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


RETURN VALUE

       The abort() function never returns.
