how to send ctrl + c to another screen?

Question

I am trying to send ctrl + c to another screen.

How can I do this?

screen -S railsServer -p 0 -X stuff $'\cc'

screen -S railsServer -p 0 -X stuff $'^C'

However these don't seem to work.

Both of these seem to work for me in a quick test. – Etan Reisner Jul 30 '15 at 17:50 — Etan Reisner, Jul 30 '15 at 17:50

screen -S railsServer -p 0 -X stuff $'\003'

If someone can explain what the $'\003' represents that would be awesome!

\003 is equivalent to Ctrl + C – Fernando Martín Besteiro Jul 30 '15 at 19:27
`man ascii`. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ascii.7.html is what I look at usually. But as is often the case, wikipedia has the last word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_control_code_chart . Good luck to all. – shellter Jul 31 '15 at 02:20
