GLUTCLOSEFUNC(3)

💖 GLUTCLOSEFUNC(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GLUTCLOSEFUNC(3) manual page — aka the glow-up guide for glutCloseFunc. We're keeping every detail, just with main character energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

glutCloseFunc — Window destruction callback.

📚 LIBRARY 📚

OpenGLUT - windowcallback

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutCloseFunc(void( *callback )( void ));

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• callback — Client window destruction hook.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: when a window is destroyed by user-action in traditional GLUT, the application terminates. 😭 No cap. But in freeglut and OpenGLUT, the application can choose to persist and treat the window close event as a normal event. This callback is how that event is transmitted to the application. It's giving event delivery realness. ✨

This callback is bound to the current window. 👑

💀 CAVEATS 💀

Not me having to say this, but: this function is exactly the same as glutWMCloseFunc(), which has been deprecated. This function should be used instead. periodt. 💅

🙈 TODO 🙈

There needs to be some work to rationalize the behavior when a window is closed. lowkey yeah.
