ABORT

abort ? cause abnormal program termination

#include <stdlib.h>

void abort(void);

The abort() function causes abnormal program termination unless the signal SIGABORT 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 SIGABORT function is blocked or ignored, the abort() function will still override it.

The abort() function never returns.
