# SDL_SetHintWithPriority

Set a hint with a specific priority.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3/SDL_hints.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_hints.h)

## Syntax

```c
bool SDL_SetHintWithPriority(const char *name, const char *value, SDL_HintPriority priority);
```

## Function Parameters

|                                      |              |                                                              |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| const char *                         | **name**     | the hint to set.                                             |
| const char *                         | **value**    | the value of the hint variable.                              |
| [SDL_HintPriority](SDL_HintPriority) | **priority** | the [SDL_HintPriority](SDL_HintPriority) level for the hint. |

## Return Value

(bool) Returns true on success or false on failure; call
[SDL_GetError](SDL_GetError)() for more information.

## Remarks

The priority controls the behavior when setting a hint that already has a
value. Hints will replace existing hints of their priority and lower.
Environment variables are considered to have override priority.

## Thread Safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
