Would it be good if the online help and the manual agreed a bit
more?  The manual says "quit [expression]":

 @node Quitting GDB
 @section Quitting @value{GDBN}
 @cindex exiting @value{GDBN}
 @cindex leaving @value{GDBN}

 @table @code
 @kindex quit @r{[}@var{expression}@r{]}
 @kindex q @r{(@code{quit})}
 @item quit @r{[}@var{expression}@r{]}
 @itemx q
 To exit @value{GDBN}, use the @code{quit} command (abbreviated
 @code{q}), or type an end-of-file character (usually @kbd{Ctrl-d}).  If you
 do not supply @var{expression}, @value{GDBN} will terminate normally;
 otherwise it will terminate using the result of @var{expression} as the
 error code.
 @end table
