gdb: Quitting GDB

 
 2.2 Quitting GDB
 ================
 
 'quit [EXPRESSION]'
 'q'
      To exit GDB, use the 'quit' command (abbreviated 'q'), or type an
      end-of-file character (usually 'Ctrl-d').  If you do not supply
      EXPRESSION, GDB will terminate normally; otherwise it will
      terminate using the result of EXPRESSION as the error code.
 
    An interrupt (often 'Ctrl-c') does not exit from GDB, but rather
 terminates the action of any GDB command that is in progress and returns
 to GDB command level.  It is safe to type the interrupt character at any
 time because GDB does not allow it to take effect until a time when it
 is safe.
 
    If you have been using GDB to control an attached process or device,
 you can release it with the 'detach' command (SeeDebugging an
 Already-running Process Attach.).
