<p>
If you want to close the shell session, there are several ways to do so:
<ul>
<li>Press <code>^ (control) + D</code>. Although this key combination closes the shell,
it doesn't quit the terminal application as it just saves and closes the current session.
A closed session does not allow any input or output anymore.
</li>
<li>Insert the <code>exit</code> command. Unlike the mentioned key combo, exit also quits
the terminal application itself.
</li>
</ul>
