ABORT(3F)                            BSD                             ABORT(3F)



NAME
     abort - abnormal termination

SYNOPSIS
     subroutine abort (string)
     character*(*) string

DESCRIPTION
     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 process dump in the file
     `node_data/system_logs/proc_dump.  Use tb(1) to examine the contents of
     this file.  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 that
     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.
