Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

By default SDL will use _NET_WM_PING, but for applications that know they will not always be able to respond to ping requests in a timely manner they can turn it off to avoid the window manager thinking the app is hung.

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Disable _NET_WM_PING.

• "1": Enable _NET_WM_PING. (default)

This hint should be set before creating a window.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
