###### (This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! [SDL2](https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/) is the current stable version!)
# SDL_QuitSubSystem

Shut down specific SDL subsystems.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3/SDL_init.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_init.h)

## Syntax

```c
void SDL_QuitSubSystem(SDL_InitFlags flags);

```

## Function Parameters

|               |                                                                                        |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **flags**     | any of the flags used by [SDL_Init](SDL_Init)(); see [SDL_Init](SDL_Init) for details. |

## Remarks

You still need to call [SDL_Quit](SDL_Quit)() even if you close all open
subsystems with [SDL_QuitSubSystem](SDL_QuitSubSystem)().

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.

## Code Examples

```c
#include <SDL3/SDL.h>

extern void display_graph(void);

/* ... */

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int sdl_initialized = 0;
    sdl_initialized = !SDL_Init(0);

    /* ... console stuff ... */

    if (sdl_initialized && SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)) {
        display_graph();
        SDL_QuitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    }

    /* ... more console stuff ... */

    if (sdl_initialized) {
        SDL_Quit();
    }
    return 0;
}
```
