# Command: abort

NEST HelpDesk | Command Index | NEST Quick Reference

Name:

    abort - Abort all NEST processes gracefully.
      Paramteres:
      exitcode - The exitcode to quit with

Description:

      This function can be run by the user to end all NEST processes as
      gracefully as possible. If NEST is compiled without MPI support,
      this will just call quit_i. If compiled with MPI support, it will
      call MPI_Abort, which will kill all processes of the application
      and thus prevents deadlocks. The exitcode is userabort in both
      cases (see statusdict/exitcodes).

Require:

    HAVE_MPI

Availability:

    NEST 2.0
