Stop a background fit

Description

Terminates a background job started by [ferx_fit_async](ferx_fit_async.qmd)without waiting for it to finish. Unlike pressing Ctrl+C during [ferx_collect](ferx_collect.qmd) (which cancels an active wait and kills the background process), ferx_stop() can be called at any time to terminate the job directly.

Usage

ferx_stop(handle)

Arguments

• handle: A ferx_job handle returned by [ferx_fit_async](ferx_fit_async.qmd).
