PANIC(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual PANIC(9) NAME panic -- bring down system on fatal error SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/systm.h> void panic(const char *fmt, ...); DESCRIPTION The panic() function terminates the running system. The message fmt is a printf(3) style format string. The message is printed to the console and the location panicstr is set to the address of the message text for re- trieval from the OS core dump. If the kernel debugger is installed control is passed to it, otherwise an attempt to save a core dump of the OS to a configured dump device is made. If panic() is called twice (from the disk sync routines, for example) the system is rebooted without syncing the disks. RETURN VALUES The panic() function does not return. BSD August 11, 1995 BSD
