the current contract, explicitly convertible to :ref:`address`
``selfdestruct(address payable recipient)``:
destroy the current contract, sending its funds to the given :ref:`address`
Destroy the current contract, sending its funds to the given :ref:`address`
and end execution.
Note that ``selfdestruct`` has some peculiarities inherited from the EVM:
- the receiving contract's receive function is not executed.
- the contract is only really destroyed at the end of the transaction and ``revert`` s might "undo" the destruction.
Furthermore, all functions of the current contract are callable directly including the current function.
