Abnormal program termination.

This function is compatible with the following targets:

ANSI

BeOS

EMB/RTOS

Mac OS

Palm OS

Win32

#include <stdlib.h>

void abort(void)

None

The abort() function raises the SIGABRT signal and quits the program to return to the operating system.

The abort() function will not terminate the program if a programmer-installed signal handler uses longjmp() instead of returning normally.

"assert", "longjmp", "raise", "signal", "atexit", "exit"

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char c;

	printf("Aborting the program.\n");
	printf("Press return.\n");

	// wait for the return key to be pressed
	c = getchar();

	// abort the program
	abort();

	return 0;
}
Output:
Aborting the program.
Press return.
