BREAK + Checking Whether Break Was InvokedControls circumstances under which DOS checks for the Ctrl-C
or Break key (Ctrl-Break on the IBM PC) while programs are
executing.
VERSION
PC-DOS 2.0+
MS-DOS equivalent: BREAK (2.0+)
TYPE
Internal
SYNTAX
BREAK [ON|OFF]
OPTIONS
ON Sets BREAK to on. BREAK ON allows
interruption of programs while they are
not performing input or output to the
console, the printer, or auxiliary
devices.
OFF Sets BREAK to off (the default).
EXAMPLES
CBREAK ON
sets BREAK to ON. To see the status of the command, issue it with
no argument:
ABREAK
BREAK is on
NOTE
With BREAK set to OFF, DOS checks only when it performs a
screen or keyboard system call or carries out a printer or other
auxiliary device operation. Specifying ON instructs DOS to check
to see whether the Break key combination has been pressed before
it performs any system call. You can specify BREAK = ON in your
configuration file.
