SDL_GetPointerProperty(3)

SDL_GetPointerProperty3

Get a pointer property from a group of properties.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

void * SDL_GetPointerProperty(SDL_PropertiesID props, const char *name, void *default_value);

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_properties.h

Overview

By convention, the names of properties that SDL exposes on objects will start with "SDL.", and properties that SDL uses internally will start with "SDL.internal.". These should be considered read-only and should not be modified by applications.

Function parameters

props

the properties to query.

name

the name of the property to query.

default_value

the default value of the property.

Return value

Returns the value of the property, or default_value if it is not set or not a pointer property.

Thread safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread, although the data returned is not protected and could potentially be freed if you call

SDL_SetPointerProperty () or

SDL_ClearProperty () on these properties from another thread. If you need to avoid this, use

SDL_LockProperties () and

SDL_UnlockProperties ().

Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
