ABORT(3C)       DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)       ABORT(3C)



NAME
     abort - generate an IOT fault

USAGE
     int abort ( )

DESCRIPTION
     Abort first closes all open files, if possible, then sends
     an IOT signal to the process.  This usually results in ter-
     mination, with a core dump.

     Abort can return control if SIGIOT is caught or ignored, in
     which case the value returned is that of the kill(2) system
     call.

RELATED INFORMATION
