NAME

       allegro_exit - Closes down the Allegro system.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void allegro_exit();

DESCRIPTION

       Closes  down  the Allegro system. This includes returning the system to
       text mode and removing whatever mouse,  keyboard,  and  timer  routines
       have  been  installed.  You  don't  normally  need  to bother making an
       explicit call to this function, because allegro_init() installs  it  as
       an  atexit()  routine  so  it  will  be  called automatically when your
       program exits.

       Note  that  after  you  call  this  function,  other   functions   like
       destroy_bitmap()  will  most  likely  crash.  This is a problem for C++
       global destructors, which usually get called after atexit(),  so  don't
       put Allegro calls in them. You can write the destructor code in another
       method which you can manually call before your program exits,  avoiding
       this problem.
