NAME
       panic - General: Causes a system crash

SYNOPSIS
       void panic(
	       char *message );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies the message you want the panic routine to display on the con‐
       sole terminal.

DESCRIPTION
       The panic routine causes a  system  crash,  usually  because  of	 fatal
       errors. It sends to the console terminal and error logger the specified
       message and, possibly, other system-dependent information (for example,
       register	 dumps).  It  also  causes a crash dump to be generated. After
       displaying the message, panic reboots the system if the	console	 envi‐
       ronment variables are set appropriately.

RETURN VALUES
       None
