25.6.4 Aborting a Program
You can abort your program using the abort function. The prototype
for this function is in `stdlib.h'.
- Function: void abort (void)
- The
abort function causes abnormal program termination. This
does not execute cleanup functions registered with atexit or
on_exit.
This function actually terminates the process by raising a
SIGABRT signal, and your program can include a handler to
intercept this signal; see 24. Signal Handling.
Future Change Warning: Proposed Federal censorship regulations
may prohibit us from giving you information about the possibility of
calling this function. We would be required to say that this is not an
acceptable way of terminating a program.
