allegro_exit(3)                 Allegro manual                 allegro_exit(3)



NAME
       allegro_exit - Closes down the Allegro system.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>


       void allegro_exit();

DESCRIPTION
       Closes down the Allegro system. This includes returning the system to
       text mode and removing whatever mouse, keyboard, and timer routines
       have been installed. You don't normally need to bother making an
       explicit call to this function, because allegro_init() installs it as
       an atexit() routine so it will be called automatically when your
       program exits.

       Note that after you call this function, other functions like
       destroy_bitmap() will most likely crash. This is a problem for C++
       global destructors, which usually get called after atexit(), so don't
       put Allegro calls in them. You can write the destructor code in another
       method which you can manually call before your program exits, avoiding
       this problem.
