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 {{keypress|'''[[\]]''' }} key while holding down the {{keypress|'''[[control key|Ctrl]]'''}} key on a [[computer keyboard]].
Under most [[UNIX]] based operating systems control-\ is used to terminate a running [[process (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]].
