NAME
       scpanic - write panic message and enter emergency shutdown sequence

SYNOPSIS
       #include "/usr/src/uts/aviion/ii/isc.h"

       void    scpanic (paniccode)
       scpaniccodetype  paniccode;   /*READ ONLY*/

   where:
       paniccode  A value identifying the cause of the panic.  This value
                   will be written to the system console along with the
                   panic message.  Non-standard devices should use a panic
                   code between 0 and 511 decimal to avoid collision with
                   existing system panic codes.

DESCRIPTION
       This routine is the panic routine that you call when serious errors
       or inconsistencies are detected.  A panic message is written to the
       system console, and the emergency shutdown sequence is entered.

       The panic lock is obtained to ensure that only one processor enters
       the panic and emergency shutdown code.  If any other processors are
       running, they are stopped.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Return Value
       None.

   Errors
       None.

   Abort Conditions
       None.
