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


NAME
     abort - abnormal termination

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

DESCRIPTION
     Abort cleans up the I/O buffers and then terminates execu-
     tion.  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.

FILES

BUGS
