C 5 abort - abnormal termination subroutine abort (string)

character*(*) string

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.

abort(3) String is ignored on the PDP11.
