Exit Man Page in Linux/Unix

 Whenever i ran "Man" in linux or unix i had a peculiar problem of not  being able to exit man using ctrl+D or ctrl+C commands.I used to close the terminal to exit :-)

Today i figured out that all i had to do is press 'q' on my keyboard. How silly of me.

Check out:-  Tips & Tricks for using "Man" effectively
