Use this function to shut down specific SDL subsystems.

<<TableOfContents()>>

== Syntax ==
{{{#!highlight cpp
void SDL_QuitSubSystem(Uint32 flags)
}}}

== Function Parameters ==
||'''flags'''||any of the flags used by [[SDL_Init]](); see [[#flags|Remarks]] for details||

== Code Examples ==
{{{#!highlight cpp
#include "SDL.h"

/* ... */

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;
}
}}}

== Remarks ==
<<Anchor(flags)>>These are the flags which may be passed to [[SDL_QuitSubSystem]]() and may be OR'd together to quit multiple subsystems simultaneously.
<<Include(SDL_Init, , , from="OR'd together:", to="If you want to initialize")>>

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.

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