SDL_OpenUserStorage(3) SDL3 FUNCTIONS SDL_OpenUserStorage(3)

NAME

SDL_OpenUserStorage - Opens up a container for a user's unique read/write filesystem.

SYNOPSIS

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
SDL_Storage* SDL_OpenUserStorage(const char *org, const char *app, SDL_PropertiesID props);

DESCRIPTION

While title storage can generally be kept open throughout runtime, user storage should only be opened when the client is ready to read/write files. This allows the backend to properly batch file operations and flush them when the container has been closed; ensuring safe and optimal save I/O.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

the name of your organization
the name of your application
a property list that may contain backend-specific information

RETURN VALUE

Returns a user storage container on success or NULL on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
