  23      <dd><dt><code>q</code>
  24      <dd>To exit GDB, use the <code>quit</code> command (abbreviated
  25 <code>q</code>), or type an end-of-file character (usually <kbd>C-d</kbd>).  If you
  26 do not supply <var>expression</var>, GDB will terminate normally;
  27 otherwise it will terminate using the result of <var>expression</var> as the
  28 error code.
  29 </dl>

  31    <p>An interrupt (often <kbd>C-c</kbd>) does not exit from GDB, but rather
  32 terminates the action of any GDB command that is in progress and
  33 returns to GDB command level.  It is safe to type the interrupt
  34 character at any time because GDB does not allow it to take effect
  35 until a time when it is safe.
  36
  37    <p>If you have been using GDB to control an attached process or
  38 device, you can release it with the <code>detach</code> command
  39 (see <a href="Attach.html#Attach">Debugging an already-running process</a>).
