SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS(3)

💖 SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the SDL3 FUNCTIONS girlie SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS and she is here to tell SDL to not catch the SIGINT or SIGTERM signals on POSIX platforms. that's the whole vibe. that's the name. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS "SDL_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS"

like yes, it's a #define, it's a string, it's iconic, it's literally the hint name in quotes. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the variable can be set to the following values, and there are exactly two of them, and I need you to pick one:

• "0" — SDL will install a SIGINT and SIGTERM handler, and when it catches a signal, convert it into an SDL_EVENT_QUIT event. (this is the default, bestie, this is what you get if you say nothing)
• "1" — SDL will not install a signal handler at all. nothing. zero. no handlers. she's off duty. 💀

🫶 heads up: this hint should be set before SDL is initialized. like, before. not during. not after. before. the vibe check happens at init time, iykyk.

---

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older... girl. 😭

and that's the page!! every flag, every value, every default, all present and accounted for, no details left behind, we ate and left no crumbs 👑

this little beauty comes to you from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, and yes that's the whole flex. stay signal-safe out there, mwah 💖✨
