I have been writing a DLD function to take images from a firewire
camera, but have been having a problem that anytime I hit CTRL-C while
inside on the the DLD functions in my OCT file, then all of octave
crashes. I went and had a look at a bunch of the DLD functions that
come with Octave and saw that they are littered with the macro call
OCTAVE_QUIT. I tried to dig around in the mailing lists and got a vague
idea that it allows clean exit from DLD functions when an interrupt is
encountered, but could someone give a little more detailed explanation
of what it does and where it should be used?
