ABORT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ABORT(3) NAME abort - cause abnormal process termination SYNOPSIS #include <stdlib.h> noreturn void abort(void); DESCRIPTION The abort() function first unblocks the SIGABRT signal, and then raises that signal for the calling process (as though raise(3) was called). This results in the abnormal termination of the process unless the SIGABRT signal is caught and the signal handler does not return (see longjmp(3)). If the SIGABRT signal is ignored, or caught by a handler that returns, the abort() function will still terminate the process. It does this by restoring the deβ fault disposition for SIGABRT and then raising the signal for a second time. RETURN VALUE The abort() function never returns.

NOTES Up until glibc 2.26, if the abort() function caused process termination, all open streams were closed and flushed (as with fclose(3)). However, in some cases this could result in deadlocks and data corruption. Therefore, starting with glibc 2.27, abort() terminates the process without flushing streams. POSIX.1 perβ mits either possible behavior, saying that abort() "may include an attempt to effect fclose() on all open streams".
