SDL_Quit \- Shut down SDL
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fB#include "SDL\&.h"

\fBvoid \fBSDL_Quit\fP\fR(\fBvoid\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_Quit\fP shuts down all SDL subsystems and frees the resources allocated to them\&. This should always be called before you exit\&. For the sake of simplicity you can set \fBSDL_Quit\fP as your \fBatexit\fP call, like:
.PP
.nf
\f(CWSDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
\&.
\&.\fR
.fi
.PP
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:
.PP
While using \fBatexit\fP maybe be fine for small programs, more advanced users should shut down SDL in their own cleanup code\&. Plus, using \fBatexit\fP in a library is a sure way to crash dynamically loaded code

Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g. man -k SDL_ |grep Video After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages. After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space. After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL with SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL everything works fine. After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a man -k SDL_ and SDL_Init is listed in the output. --HG-- branch : SDL-1.2 extra : convert_revision : svn%3Ac70aab31-4412-0410-b14c-859654838e24/branches/SDL-1.2%402660
