abort
Terminates a program abnormally.
Syntax
#include <stdlib.h>
void abort (void);
Parameters
None.
Return Values
None.
Description
The abort function causes abnormal program termination to occur unless
the signal SIGABRT is being caught and the signal handler does not
return.
The abort function closes all open files if possible and then terminates
the process. Temporary files under MPE/iX are not saved.
Process termination is achieved by calling the system intrinsic QUIT.
This intrinsic transmits an abort message to the list device of the
calling process and sets the job control word (JCW) to indicate that the
program terminated in an error state. The C language job control word
(CJCW) is also set to a non zero value to indicate the error condition.
