DESCRIPTION

The abort() function causes abnormal program termination.

No open streams are closed or flushed.

In environments where signals are supported, the SIGABRT signal is produced first. The above processing takes place if and when the signal handler returns, or if the signal is ignored (the default setting of this signal).

RETURN VALUES

The abort() function never returns.
