Synopsis:
    #include <stdlib.h>
    void abort( void );

Description:
    The abort function raises the signal SIGABRT.  The default action for
    SIGABRT is to terminate program execution, returning control to the
    process that started the calling program (usually the operating system).
     The status unsuccessful termination is returned to the invoking process
    by means of the function call raise(SIGABRT).  Under DOS and OS/2, the
    status value is 3.

Returns:
    The abort function does not return to its caller.

Example:
    #include <stdlib.h>

    void main()
      {
        int major_error = 1;

        if( major_error )
          abort();
      }
