    ABORT(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 ABORT(3)

    NAME
         abort - generate a fault

    DESCRIPTION
         Abort executes an instruction which is illegal in user mode.
         This causes a signal that normally terminates the process
         with a core dump, which may be used for debugging.

    SEE ALSO
         adb(1), sigvec(2), exit(2)

    DIAGNOSTICS
         Usually ``Illegal instruction - core dumped'' from the
         shell.

    BUGS
         The abort() function does not flush standard I/O buffers.
         Use fflush(3S).
