<control : fail>

Description

Exits the active build, giving an additional message if available. The if and unless attributes make the failure conditional -both probe for the named property being defined. The if tests for the property being defined, the unless for a property being undefined. If both attributes are set, then the test fails only if both tests are true. i.e.
fail := defined(ifProperty) && !defined(unlessProperty)
A single nested<condition> element can be specified instead of using if/unless (a combined effect can be achieved using isset conditions).

status Set the status code to associate with the thrown Exception. int ?
