three_finger_flag(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is three_finger_flag(3) — yes, that's the manual name — and it's from the Allegro manual. It's a flag to deactivate the emergency exit key combination, and it lives in the Allegro game programming library. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern int three_finger_flag;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The DJGPP keyboard handler provides an 'emergency exit' sequence which you can use to kill off your program. 😭 If you're running under DOS, this is the three finger salute: ctrl+alt+del.

Most multitasking OS's will trap this combination before it reaches the Allegro handler, in which case you can use the alternative ctrl+alt+end.

If you want to disable this behaviour in release versions of your program, set this flag to FALSE. That's the whole assignment, periodt. 👑
