Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_unref\_user\_event - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  void al_unref_user_event(ALLEGRO_USER_EVENT *event)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Decrease the reference count of a user-defined event. This must be called on any user event that you get from al\_get\_next\_event(3alleg5), al\_peek\_next\_event(3alleg5), al\_wait\_for\_event(3alleg5), etc. which is reference counted. This function does nothing if the event is not reference counted.
