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 (Debugging an
Already-running Process Attach.).
