💅 SDL_DestroyProcess — the SDL3 FUNCTIONS era 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat, we're talking about SDL_DestroyProcess(3) today and honestly? it's giving "cleanup era". ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_DestroyProcess — destroy a previously created process object. yes queen, it's exactly what it says on the tin. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_process.h>

void SDL_DestroyProcess(SDL_Process *process);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one pointer, zero drama. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, and it's important tea: calling this does not stop the process. it just destroys the SDL object that you were using to track it. like, you're deleting the contact, not hanging up the call. 😭

if what you actually want is to stop the process, you do not use this. you go use SDL_KillProcess() instead. that's the one with the actual authority. 💅

lowkey a huge distinction, so don't mix them up — destroy ≠ kill, no cap.

💜 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 💜

  • process — the process object to destroy. hand it over and it's gone, bestie. 🫶

🌈 THREAD SAFETY 🌈

this function is not thread safe.

so like, do not come at it from multiple threads at once. it will not slay, it will not serve, it will simply break. 🙈

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function has been available since SDL 3.2.0. iconic behavior honestly. 👑
