IDBFileHandle.abort()
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
Note: The three non-standard interfaces IDBMutableFile, IDBFileHandle, and IDBFileRequest are disabled by default.
Consider using the File and Directory Entries API instead.
The abort() method of the IDBFileHandle interface
release the lock on the object, making it inactive:
its active property is set to false
and all ongoing operations are canceled.
