NAME
|
panic – abandon hope |
SYNOPSIS
|
void panic(char *fmt, ...) |
DESCRIPTION
|
Panic writes a message to the console and causes the system to
give up the ghost. It enables interrupts, dumps the kernel stack,
and halts the current processor; if more than one, others will
gradually come to a halt. Depending on configuration settings,
the platform–dependent exit might reboot the system. The
format fmt and associated arguments are the same as those for
print(9). Panic adds a prefix panic: and a trailing newline. |
