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 termi‐
       nated 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 dur‐
       ing  loading.   Similarly,  if  the  value of f77_dump_flag begins with
       n, abort is not called.
