NAME¶

SDL_GetRenderDriver - Use this function to get the name of a built in 2D rendering driver.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

const char* SDL_GetRenderDriver(int index);

DESCRIPTION¶

The list of rendering drivers is given in the order that they are normally initialized by default; the drivers that seem more reasonable to choose first (as far as the SDL developers believe) are earlier in the list.

The names of drivers are all simple, low-ASCII identifiers, like "opengl", "direct3d12" or "metal". These never have Unicode characters, and are not meant to be proper names.

The returned value points to a static, read-only string; do not modify or free it!

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

index

the index of the rendering driver; the value ranges from 0 to SDL_GetNumRenderDrivers () - 1

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns the name of the rendering driver at the requested index, or NULL if an invalid index was specified.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
