(This is the legacy documentation for SDL2, the previous stable version; SDL3 is the current stable version.)

SDL_QuitSubSystem

Shut down specific SDL subsystems.

Header File

Defined in SDL.h

Syntax

void SDL_QuitSubSystem(Uint32 flags);

Function Parameters

Uint32

flags

any of the flags used by SDL_Init(); see SDL_Init for details.

Remarks

If you start a subsystem using a call to that subsystem's init function (for example SDL_VideoInit()) instead of SDL_Init() or SDL_InitSubSystem(), SDL_QuitSubSystem() and SDL_WasInit() will not work. You will need to use that subsystem's quit function (SDL_VideoQuit()) directly instead. But generally, you should not be using those functions directly anyhow; use SDL_Init() instead.

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

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
