Calling Sequence

    quit




Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

The `quit` command has two different meanings depending on the calling
context:

:If there is no `pause` active, then the `quit` command makes Scilab
  terminate, even if the command is called inside a function.
: :If there is a `pause` active, then the `quit` command makes abort
  of the instructions started at this pause level and terminates the
  current pause level.

    end
    endfunction
    foo(%t) //quits scilab
    
    //terminate instruction started in a pause context
    function foo(x)
    if x then
       quit
    end
    endfunction
    pause
    foo(%t) //returns at the main prompt level

    `mprintf`_('P1\n')
