## Header File

SDL_bool SDL_GetEventFilter(SDL_EventFilter * filter,
                            void **userdata);
```

## Function Parameters

|                                      |              |                                                                             |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [SDL_EventFilter](SDL_EventFilter) * | **filter**   | the current callback function will be stored here.                          |
| void **                              | **userdata** | the pointer that is passed to the current event filter will be stored here. |

## Return Value

([SDL_bool](SDL_bool)) Returns [SDL_TRUE](SDL_TRUE) on success or
[SDL_FALSE](SDL_FALSE) if there is no event filter set.

## Remarks

This function can be used to "chain" filters, by saving the existing filter
before replacing it with a function that will call that saved filter.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
