query-os-exit

Arguments: ide-configuration

Returns whether the IDE will always ask for exit confirmation when the underlying operating system is shutting down or logging off the current user. A modal dialog will ask "Do you really want to exit Allegro CL, allowing the operating system to exit?" If the user replies No to the modal dialog, then the shutdown or logoff is canceled, and the IDE continues running.

If there are unsaved changes in the IDE, then the dialog asking whether to first save changes will still appear regardless of the value of this option, and still offer a cancel option that would cancel the OS shutdown.

The default value is nil, since it is unusual for an application to cancel a shutdown when there are no unsaved changes.

See also query-exit, which controls whether the user is prompted for confirmation when a gesture is made to close the IDE.
