# SDL\_HINT\_SHUTDOWN\_DBUS\_ON\_QUIT(3)

A variable controlling whether SDL calls dbus\_shutdown() on quit.

## NAME

SDL\_HINT\_SHUTDOWN\_DBUS\_ON\_QUIT - A variable controlling whether SDL calls dbus\_shutdown() on quit.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3/SDL\_hints.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
```

**#define SDL\_HINT\_SHUTDOWN\_DBUS\_ON\_QUIT** *SDL\_SHUTDOWN\_DBUS\_ON\_QUIT"*

## DESCRIPTION

This is useful as a debug tool to validate memory leaks, but shouldn't ever be set in production applications, as other libraries used by the application might use dbus under the hood and this can cause crashes if they continue after  **SDL\_Quit** ().

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": SDL will not call dbus\_shutdown() on quit. (default)

• "1": SDL will call dbus\_shutdown() on quit.

This hint can be set anytime.

## AVAILABILITY

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
