ABORT(3F7768)  —  NEWS-OS Programmer’s Manual

NAME

abort − abnormal termination

SYNOPSIS

subroutine abort (string)
character∗(∗) string

DESCRIPTION

abort cleans up the I/O buffers and then terminates execution.  If string is given, it is written to logical unit 0 preceded by “abort:”. 

If the −g flag was specified during loading, then execution is terminated by calling abort(3) which aborts producing a core file in the current directory.  If −g was not specified while loading, then ∗∗∗ Execution terminated is written on logical unit 0 and execution is terminated. 

If the f77_dump_flag environment variable has been set to a value which begins with y, abort(3) is called whether or not −g was specified during loading.  Similarly, if the value of f77_dump_flag begins with n, abort is not called.
