🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <SDL3/SDL_system.h>

void SDL_OnApplicationWillTerminate(void);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the vibe: this function lets iOS apps that handle their own events hook into SDL so they can generate SDL events. it maps directly to an iOS-specific event, but — and this is the iconic part — since it doesn't do anything iOS-specific internally, it's available on all platforms, just in case it might be useful for some specific paradigm 👑

most apps do not need to use this directly, fr fr. SDL's internal event code will handle all of this for windows created by SDL_CreateWindow ✨ like, it's already doing it for you, no cap.

it is safe to call this function from any thread. yes bestie, ANY. go off 💅

and that's the whole thing! no extra lore, no hidden flags, it's giving "short and sweet" 🍓
