ABORT(S) XENIX System V ABORT(S)
Name
abort - Generates an IOT fault.
Syntax
int abort ( )
Description
abort first closes all open files, if possible, then causes
an I/O trap signal (SIGIOT) to be sent to the calling
process. This usually results in termination with a core
dump.
abort can return control if the calling process is set to
catch or ignore the SIGIOT signal; see signal(S).
See Also
adb(CP), exit(S), signal(S)
Diagnostics
If an aborted process returns control to the shell ( sh(C)),
the shell usually displays the message ``abort - core
dumped''.
