9.2.41 abort | Restart
Data Arguments Required: None. Description: The intent of the abort restart is to allow return to the innermost "command level." Implementors are encouraged to make sure that there is always a restart named abort around any user code so that user code can call abort at any time and expect something reasonable to happen; exactly what the reasonable thing is may vary somewhat. Typically, in an interactive listener, the invocation of abort returns to the Lisp reader phase of the Lisp read-eval-print loop, though in some batch or multi-processing situations there may be situations in which having it kill the running process is more appropriate. See Also: Section 9.1.4.2 Restarts, Section 9.1.4.2.2 Interfaces to Restarts, invoke-restart, abort (function) Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
