✨ NAME ✨

SDL_ExposeEvent — Quit requested event 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL API Reference page for SDL_ExposeEvent(3) — yes it's giving very "why is this so short", but it's important, trust. 🫶

🎀 STRUCTURE DEFINITION 🎀

here's the whole lil guy, no cap, this is literally all of it:

typedef struct{
  Uint8 type
} SDL_ExposeEvent;

🌸 STRUCTURE DATA 🌸

  • type — SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE ⭐

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

SDL_ExposeEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union, and it gets used when an event of type SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE is reported. slay. ✨

A VIDEOEXPOSE event is triggered when the screen has been modified outside of the application — usually by the window manager — and it needs to be redrawn. so basically the WM said "not me changing things behind your back" 💀 and now your app has to redraw everything. main character energy honestly.

bestie this one is NOT the same as a quit event, okay?? the NAME line says "Quit requested event" but the actual description is about screen redraw. iconic typo behavior, but the facts are the facts. 🍓
