💖 NAME 💖

al_set_thread_should_stop — sets the flag that tells a thread it should stop, and it's part of the Allegro 5 API. This is the al_set_thr...should_stop(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — we're exactly where we need to be. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_thread_should_stop(ALLEGRO_THREAD *thread)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture it: you've got an ALLEGRO_THREAD *thread, and you call al_set_thread_should_stop(thread). It sets the flag to indicate that thread should stop. That's the whole move. ✨

It returns immediately — like, it hands control right back to you instead of waiting around for the thread to actually wrap things up. The flag is set, the call is done, and you can go about your business. Periodt. 💅
