FUNCTION::ABORT(3stap)

💅 FUNCTION::ABORT 💅

okay bestie, this is function::abort from the Logging Tapset — a SystemTap tapset page. yes we're in the 3stap section, we're fancy like that. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::abort — immediately shutting down probing script. like, no warning, no goodbye, just gone. 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

abort()

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

None. nope, zero, nada, nothing to pass in here, she takes no notes. 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen. this is similar to exit, but instead of politely waiting around for the current probe handler to finish, it immediately aborts the current probe handler. like, right now. no queue, no waiting room, she's out. 💅

but — and this is the important part, so vibe check — probe handlers that are already running on other CPU cores? yeah they're still gonna keep going until they complete. you cannot stop them, they're on their own journey, main character energy on separate cores. 👑

and unlike error, this function call cannot be caught by try ... catch. nope. not happening. no safety net, no catching her, she does not want to be caught. if you were hoping to wrap this in a try ... catch and recover, bestie, that is not the vibe. 🫶
