====== (This is the legacy documentation for stable SDL2, the current stable version; [https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/ SDL3] is the current development version.) ======
= SDL_QuitSubSystem =

Shut down specific SDL subsystems.

== Syntax ==

<syntaxhighlight lang='c'>
void SDL_QuitSubSystem(Uint32 flags);
</syntaxhighlight>

== Function Parameters ==

{|
|'''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.
