Line 1: In [[computing]], '''control-\''' is a [[control character]] in [[ASCII code]], also known as the '''field separator''' ('''[[field separator\|FS]]''') character. It is generated by pressing the '''[[\]]''' key while holding down the '''[[control key\|Ctrl]]''' key on a [[computer keyboard]]. Under most [[UNIX]] based operating systems control-\ is used to terminate a running [[process in(computing)\|process]] from a [[shell (computing)\|command shell]] and have it produce a [[core dump\|memory core dump]] by sending it a [[SIGQUIT]] [[signal (computing)\|signal]]. ==See also==
