QUIT(nged)

Ends the MGED process.

📅 published 7.44.0, from nixpkgs unstable

💅 QUIT(nged) — the quit page from the BRL-CAD User Commands ✨

okay bestie, so this is the QUIT(nged) manual page, and honestly? it's a short one, but it's kind of a big deal. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

quit — ends the MGED process. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

quit

no flags, no arguments, no drama. just vibes and one word 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Ends the MGED process. periodt. 💅

and here's the part you actually need to know, bestie, because it's lowkey important: MGED does not queue edits for a later save step. like, it's not holding your work in a little waiting room somewhere hoping you'll come back. changes are written to the database as they are made — so by the time you type quit, everything's already in there. ✨

which means — and this is the key bit — quit does not restore the database to an earlier pre-edited state. it's not an undo. it's not a time machine. it's not gonna save you from that one edit you regret 😭 it just... ends the process. the changes stay. no cap.

oh and also?? MGED is cool and accepts q and exit for the same operation, so you can be as lazy as you want with your typing. we love a flexible icon 🎀

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

the example shows the use of the quit command to end the current MGED session. super straightforward, we love to see it.

Example 1. End the current MGED session.

mged> quit

Quits the current MGED session. and that's literally it — you're out 🚪💨
