SDL_QuitEvent(3) SDL API Reference SDL_QuitEvent(3)

NAME

SDL_QuitEvent - Quit requested event

STRUCTURE DEFINITION

typedef struct{
Uint8 type
} SDL_QuitEvent;

STRUCTURE DATA

type SDL_QUIT

DESCRIPTION

SDL_QuitEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union and is used whan an
event of type SDL_QUIT is reported.

As can be seen, the SDL_QuitEvent structure serves no useful purpose.
The event itself, on the other hand, is very important. If you filter
out or ignore a quit event then it is impossible for the user to
close the window. On the other hand, if you do accept a quit event
then the application window will be closed, and screen updates will
still report success event though the application will no longer be
visible.

Note:

The macro SDL_QuitRequested will return non-zero if a quit
event is pending
