SDL_AddGamepadMapping \- Add support for gamepads that SDL is unaware of or change the binding of an existing gamepad\[char46]
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include \(dqSDL3/SDL.h\(dq
.PP
.BI "int SDL_AddGamepadMapping(const char *mapping);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The mapping string has the format "GUID,name,mapping", where GUID is the
string value from 
.BR SDL_GetJoystickGUIDString
(),
name is the human readable string for the device and mappings are gamepad
mappings to joystick ones\[char46] Under Windows there is a reserved GUID of
"xinput" that covers all XInput devices\[char46] The mapping format for joystick
is:

-
.BR bX
: a joystick button, index X
-
.BR hX\[char46]Y
: hat X with value Y
-
.BR aX
: axis X of the joystick

Buttons can be used as a gamepad axes and vice versa\[char46]

This string shows an example of a valid mapping for a gamepad:
