.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn abort2
function causes the process to be killed and the specified diagnostic
message (with arguments) is delivered by the kernel to the
system call causes the process to be killed and the specified diagnostic
message (with arguments) to be delivered by the kernel to the
.Xr syslogd 8
daemon.
.Pp
The
.Fa why
is NULL-terminated string containing reason of program termination (max 128 char long).
argument points to a
.Dv NUL- Ns
terminated string specifying a reason of the program's termination
(maximum 128 characters long).
The
.Fa args
contains pointers which will be logged numerically (kernels '%p'
array contains pointers which will be logged numerically
(with the kernel's
.Ql %p
.Xr printf 9
format).
The
.Fa nargs
is number of pointers in
.Fa args ,
(max 16).
argument specifies the number of pointers in
.Fa args
(maximum 16).

The
.Fn abort2
is intended for use in situations where continuation of the process
is impossible or for other definitive reasons unwanted, and normal
system call
is intended for use in situations where continuation of a process
is impossible or for other definitive reasons is unwanted, and normal
diagnostic channels cannot be trusted to deliver the message.

function
never returns.

The process is killed with
.Dv SIGABRT
unless the arguments to
.Fn abort2
are invalid, in which case
.Dv SIGKILL
is used.
