Shutdown HAL

NoHAL stores an optional shutdown HAL snippet in the project and exports it as a separate file when non-empty.

Where It Lives In The App

Shutdown HAL is edited in Project Settings > Shutdown.

Stored Value

The project stores the shutdown text as project.shutdown (a plain text field).

Export behavior

If project.shutdown is empty or only whitespace, no shutdown file is generated.

If it is non-empty, export writes a shutdown HAL file containing the text:

• trailing whitespace at the end of the field is trimmed
• a newline is appended

During project build, the shutdown file is written as:

<project slug>-shutdown.hal

INI integration

When NoHAL generates the project INI, it manages the [HAL] section entries.

If a shutdown HAL file is generated, NoHAL adds:

SHUTDOWN = <project slug>-shutdown.hal
