END-OF-TEXT CHARACTER

The 'End Of Text character' (ETX) is a communications signal used to inform the receiving computer that the end of the data stream has been reached. This may or may not be an indication that all of the data has been received.
Often used as a "break" character (Ctrl-C) to interrupt a program or process. In TOPS-20, it was used to gain the system's attention before logging in.
