abort
— cause
abnormal program termination
#include
<stdlib.h>
void
abort
(void);
The
abort
()
function causes abnormal program termination to occur, unless the signal
SIGABRT
is being caught and the signal handler does
not return.
Some implementations may flush output streams before terminating. This implementation does not.
The abort
() function never returns.
The abort
() function conforms to
IEEE Std 1003.1-1990 (“POSIX.1”).
The abort
() function first appeared in
Version 5 AT&T UNIX.
Historically, previous standards required
abort
() to flush and close output streams, but this
conflicted with the requirement that abort
() be
async signal safe. As a result, the flushing requirement was dropped.
