<abort>

The class of conditions used to terminate a computation.

Handlers are expected to terminate execution of the current application command, or similar unit of execution, and return control to something like an application command loop.  This is comparable to command-period on the Macintosh.  The exact details of this feature depend on the particular environment, of course, but signaling an instance of <abort> is a uniform way to “get out.”
