std::process::abort - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `abort` fn in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, abort

# Function std::process::abort [−] [src]

    pub fn abort() -> !

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`process_abort` #37838)

Terminates the process in an abnormal fashion.

The function will never return and will immediately terminate the current process in a platform specific "abnormal" manner.

Note that because this function never returns, and that it terminates the process, no destructors on the current stack or any other thread's stack will be run. If a clean shutdown is needed it is recommended to only call this function at a known point where there are no more destructors left to run.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
