4.0; abtsev (abort_severity_level), revision 4.0, 82/03/31.
ABTSEV (ABORT_SEVERITY) -- Set or display the abort severity level.
usage:  ABTSEV  [-F  | -W |  -E |  -O |  -I |  -P |]


FORMAT

  ABTSEV [options]


  ABTSEV sets or shows the severity level at which a shell program will abort.
  The abort severity level is initially set to -ERROR when a Shell is created.
  If any command returns a severity level greater than or equal to the abort
  severity level, then that shell program, and all its ancestors,are
  immediately terminated.

  The abort severity level is on a per-Shell basis.  A new level is established
  every time a Shell program or a new Shell is invoked.  A Shell program
  inherits the abort severity level of the preceding level.  The severity level
  is restored when you exit from the Shell program.

  ABTSEV is an internal shell command.
