Line 2: In [[computing]], '''control-\''' is a [[control character]] in [[ASCII code]], also known as the '''file separator''' ('''[[field separator\|FS]]''') character. It is generated by pressing the {{keypress\|'''[[backslash\|\]]'''}} 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]]. In the [[Emacs]] text editor, it is the default keystroke mapping for [[autocompletion]].
