ABORT(3)							      ABORT(3)

NAME
       abort - generate a fault

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       void abort(void);

DESCRIPTION
       Abort  executes	an  instruction	 which	is illegal in user mode.  This
       generates a SIGABRT signal that normally terminates the process with  a
       core dump, which may be used for debugging.

       The  abort()  function  flushes	standard  I/O  buffers	before process
       termination.

SEE ALSO
       sigvec(2), exit(2)

DIAGNOSTICS
       Usually “Illegal instruction - core dumped” from the shell.

BUGS
       The BSD implementation of abort doesn't flush standard I/O buffers. Use
       fflush(3S) before calling abort.
