abort.3am - Man Page

@load "abort"

abort(11)

The abort extension adds a function named abort(), as follows:

abort([exit-val])

This function takes an integer argument and passes that value to the exit(3) C library function.  If the argument is not numeric, it passes zero to exit(3). No matter what, gawk exits.

@load "abort"
...
printf "Goodbye, cruel world!\n"
abort(11)

exit(3)
