+
+NAME
+       assert - Abort the program if assertion is false.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       #include <assert.h>
+
+       void assert (int expression);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       assert()  prints  an  error message to standard output and
+       terminates the program by calling abort() if expression is
+       false  (i.e.,  compares equal to zero).  This only happens
+       when the macro NDEBUG is undefined.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+       No value is returned.
+
+CONFORMS TO
+       ANSI - C
+
+BUGS
+       assert() is implemented as  a  macro;  if  the  expression
+       tested  has side - effects, program behaviour will be dif-
+       ferent depending on whether NDEBUG is  defined.  This  may
+       create  Heisenbugs  which go away when debugging is turned
+       on.
