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 process in a [[shell (computing)|command shell]] and have it dump core by sending it a [[SIGQUIT]].
