ABORT(3am)

💀 ABORT — the abort(3am) page, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is a page from the GNU Awk Extension Modules manual, and honestly? it's giving "I'm leaving and I'm not doing the goodbye dance." let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

abort — dip out without running your END rules. like, no cleanup era. at all. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

@load "abort"

abort(11)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the abort extension slides a function named abort() into your gawk session, and here's the whole vibe:

• abort([exit-val]) — this one takes an integer argument and hands that value straight to the exit(3) C library function. if the argument isn't numeric? it passes zero to exit(3) instead. and no matter what — no matter what — gawk exits. periodt. 💀

ngl bestie, this is the "I said what I said" function. there's no coming back from it. the END rules never get their moment. 🌈

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

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

the drama of it all 😭 iconic behaviour fr fr
