How to quit beeline?

I am using CDH 5.5 and need to use beeline. I am pretty new to it and learning it now. I can start beeline but cannot quit as we do in Hive. I need to use Ctrl+z to quit which is not the proper way. Can someone help?

Sometimes you may find yourself with some unterminated command that Hive still thinks that you are entering. If your "! quit" command isn't working, throw in a terminate character (;) and try to quit again.

---Example---

Beeline version 1.1.0-cdh5.7.1 by Apache Hive
beeline> some unterminated command
beeline> ! quit
beeline> <panic!>
beeline> <remember the need to terminate previous commands>
beeline> ;
No current connection
beeline> ! quit

I tried !q and also !quit it did not work in HDP 2.5./Beeline version 1.2.1000.2.5.3.

Finally

! quit or ! q (space required)
