28<b>Description: DB_TXN-&gt;abort</b>
29<p>The DB_TXN-&gt;abort method causes an abnormal termination of the transaction.
30The log is played backward, and any necessary undo operations are done
31through the <b>tx_recover</b> function specified to
32<a href="../api_c/env_set_app_dispatch.html">DB_ENV-&gt;set_app_dispatch</a>.  Before DB_TXN-&gt;abort returns, any
33locks held by the transaction will have been released.</p>
34<p>In the case of nested transactions, aborting a parent transaction causes
35all children (unresolved or not) of the parent transaction to be aborted.</p>
36<p>All cursors opened within the transaction must be closed before the
37transaction is aborted.</p>
38<p>After DB_TXN-&gt;abort has been called, regardless of its return, the
39<a href="../api_c/txn_class.html">DB_TXN</a> handle may not be accessed again.</p>
40<p>The DB_TXN-&gt;abort method
41returns a non-zero error value on failure
42and 0 on success.
