(This is the legacy documentation for SDL2, the previous stable version; SDL3 is the current stable version.)

SDL_GameControllerName

Get the implementation-dependent name for an opened game controller.

Header File

Defined in SDL_gamecontroller.h

Syntax

const char* SDL_GameControllerName(SDL_GameController *gamecontroller);

Function Parameters

gamecontroller

a game controller identifier previously returned by SDL_GameControllerOpen().

Return Value

(const char *) Returns the implementation dependent name for the game controller, or NULL if there is no name or the identifier passed is invalid.

Remarks

This is the same name as returned by SDL_GameControllerNameForIndex(), but it takes a controller identifier instead of the (unstable) device index.

Version
