An SDL_QUIT event is generated when the user tries to close the application window. If it is ignored or filtered out, the window will remain open. If it is not ignored or filtered, it is queued normally and the window is allowed to close. When the window is closed, screen updates will complete, but have no effect. An SDL_QUIT event is generated when the user tries to close the last remaining SDL_Window. If it is ignored or filtered out, the window will remain open.

On Mac OS X, pressing Command-Q (the standard keyboard shortcut for "Quit this application") will cause SDL to generate an SDL_QUIT event. The application is still responsible for terminating itself, however.

Remarks

Application Events

An SDL_QUIT event is generated when the user tries to close the last remaining SDL_Window. If it is ignored or filtered out, the window will remain open. If it is not ignored or filtered, it is queued normally and the window is allowed to close. When the window is closed, screen updates will complete, but have no effect.

On Mac OS X, pressing Command-Q (the standard keyboard shortcut for "Quit this application") will cause SDL to generate an SDL_QUIT event. The application is still responsible for terminating itself, however.

SDL_Init() installs signal handlers for SIGINT (keyboard interrupt) and SIGTERM (system termination request), if handlers do not already exist, that generate SDL_QUIT events as well. There is no way to determine the cause of an SDL_QUIT event, but setting a signal handler in your application will override the default generation of quit events for that signal.
