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 aborts the instructions started at this pause level ando terminates the current pause level.

Examples

// quit Scilab
function foo(x),if x then quit,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

function foo1(x),
  mprintf('P1\n')
  if x then pause, mprintf('P2\n'),end,
  mprintf('P3\n')
endfunction
     
foo1(%t) //enter quit at the following prompt
