abort (3f)


Syntax

  external abort
  call abort ( )

Description

  The abort subroutine terminates the program that calls it by executing an
  instruction that is illegal in user mode; it does not flush any standard
  I/O buffers.  This function usually produces a core dump.

Diagnostics

  When invoked, abort prints the following message to stderr:

       FORTRAN abort routine called

  If a core dump results, the shell prints the following message:

       illegal instruction - core dumped  - Bourne shell
       illegal instruction (core dumped)  - C shell
