💅 NAME 💅

SDL_KillProcess — bestie, this one stops a process. like, ends it. periodt. 🛑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_process.h>

bool SDL_KillProcess(SDL_Process *process, bool force);

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

  • process — the process you're trying to stop. the one getting the goodbye kiss. 💋
  • force — true to terminate the process immediately, false to try to stop it gracefully. and listen, bestie: in general you should try to stop the process gracefully first, because terminating a process may leave it with half-written data or in some other unstable state. no cap, that's messy. 😭

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information. so if it flops, go read the error. she'll tell you what's wrong. 🔍

🔥 THREAD SAFETY 🔥

This function is not thread safe. do not share her across threads, she will absolutely spiral. 💀

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0. vintage-ish. iconic. 👑
