+Disable Commands inside Listeners
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.6
+    Disabling commands inside listeners was introduced in Symfony 2.6.
+
+Using the
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Event\\ConsoleCommandEvent::disableCommand`
+method, you can disable a command inside a listener. The application
+will then not execute the command but return the code `113` (defined in
+``ConsoleCommandEvent::RETURN_CODE_DISABLED``), which is one of the
+`reserved exit codes`_ for console commands to conform with the C/C++ standard.::
+
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\Event\ConsoleCommandEvent;
+    use Symfony\Component\Console\ConsoleEvents;
+
+    $dispatcher->addListener(ConsoleEvents::COMMAND, function (ConsoleCommandEvent $event) {
+        // get the command to be executed
+        $command = $event->getCommand();
+
+        // ... check if the command can be executed
+
+        // disable the command, this will result in the command being skipped
+        // and code 113 being returned from the Application
+        $event->disableCommand();
+
+        // it is possible to enable the command in a later listener
+        if (!$event->commandShouldRun()) {
+            $event->enableCommand();
+        }
+    });
