abort(3) on macos

Usage

#include <stdlib.h>

void

abort(void);

Library

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

Overview

The abort() function causes abnormal program termination to occur, unless the signal SIGABRT is being caught and the signal handler does not return.

Any open streams are flushed and closed.

Implementation notes

The abort() function is thread-safe. It is unknown if it is async-cancel-safe.

The abort() function causes a report to be generated by Crash Reporter. If you wish to terminate without generating a crash report, use exit(3) instead.

Return values

The abort() function never returns.
