###### (This function is part of SDL_ttf, a separate library from SDL.)
# TTF_WasInit

Check if SDL_ttf is initialized.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL_ttf.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_ttf.h)

## Syntax

```c
int TTF_WasInit(void);
```

## Return Value

(int) Returns the current number of initialization calls, that need to
eventually be paired with this many calls to [TTF_Quit](TTF_Quit)().

## Remarks

This reports the number of times the library has been initialized by a call
to [TTF_Init](TTF_Init)(), without a paired deinitialization request from
[TTF_Quit](TTF_Quit)().

In short: if it's greater than zero, the library is currently initialized
and ready to work. If zero, it is not initialized.

Despite the return value being a signed integer, this function should not
return a negative number.

## Version

This function is available since SDL_ttf 2.0.12.
