void
panic(const
char *fmt,
...);
panic() function makes the
OpenBSD system terminate. The message
fmt is a printf(9)
style format string. The message is printed to the console and the location
pointed to by the global char pointer panicstr is set to
the address of the message text for retrieval from the OS core dump.
If the kernel debugger is installed, control is passed to it. Otherwise, an attempt is made to save a core dump of the OS to a configured dump device.
If panic() is called twice (from the disk
sync routines, for example) the system is rebooted without syncing the
disks.
panic() function does not return.
