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.
