            Bug ID: 63471
           Summary: Please add a "quit" command to the e2fsck interactive
                    mode
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.11.6
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: unforgettableid@gmail.com
                CC: tytso@mit.edu
        Regression: No

Some users don't know whether or not it is safe to exit e2fsck using Ctrl+C.

It would be great if you could please add a "quit" command to the e2fsck
interactive mode. The "quit" command should quit e2fsck, leaving users
confident that they didn't cause any extra damage to the filesystem by quitting
early.

Actually, please call the command "Quit Safely".

"Quit Safely" would be helpful for e2fsck newbies who want to halt the machine,
go to bed, and hire an expert the next day.

"Quit Safely" would also be helpful to e2fsck newbies who want to use a
console-mode Web browser or IRC client to get help.

"Quit Safely" would also be helpful to e2fsck newbies who:
* accidentally started the tool in fully-interactive mode
* but realize they should have used -y ("Yes to All") mode.
Those users could simply choose "Quit Safely" then rerun e2fsck with the -y
option.

e2fsck is userspace not kernel.
