DQ (DEBUG_QUIT) *DM* -- Generate a quit fault in a process.
usage: dq [-s | -b]


FORMAT

  DQ [options]


  The DQ command generates a quit fault, which normally interrupts
  execution of the current program and returns the process to the
  calling program (usually the Shell).  This command affects the
  process associated with the window that contains the cursor.  By
  default, CTRL/Q invokes DQ without options to generate a normal
  quit fault in the program currently running.


OPTIONS

  If no options are specified, then DQ generates a normal quit fault
  and halts whatever program is currently running.

  -S               Stop entire process in a controlled way, if possible.
                   Close open streams, files, pads, etc.  The Shell's
                   parent process is stopped and closed, too.

  -B               Blast process; do not execute further user mode
                   instructions.

  NOTE: If you are trying to stop a Shell's parent process (as opposed
        to some program running within a Shell), there is an easier method
        than typing DQ -S.  Position the cursor in the Shell's process
        input window and issue an EEF (END_OF_FILE) command (by default,
        CTRL/Z).  This signals completion of input, and stops both the
        Shell and the process.  Type HELP EEF for more information.
