### 2.15 Exiting Gnus

Yes, Gnus is ex(c)iting.

`z`
  Suspend Gnus (`gnus-group-suspend`). This doesn't really exit Gnus, but it kills all buffers except the Group buffer. I'm not sure why this is a gain, but then who am I to judge?
`q`
  Quit Gnus (`gnus-group-exit`).
`Q`
  Quit Gnus without saving the `.newsrc` files (`gnus-group-quit`). The dribble file will be saved, though (see Auto Save).

`gnus-suspend-gnus-hook` is called when you suspend Gnus and `gnus-exit-gnus-hook` is called when you quit Gnus, while `gnus-after-exiting-gnus-hook` is called as the final item when exiting Gnus.
