# SDL_GetNumRenderDrivers

Get the number of 2D rendering drivers available for the current display.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_render.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_render.h)

## Syntax

```c
int SDL_GetNumRenderDrivers(void);
```

## Return Value

(int) Returns a number >= 0 on success or a negative error code on failure;
call [SDL_GetError](SDL_GetError)() for more information.

## Remarks

A render driver is a set of code that handles rendering and texture
management on a particular display. Normally there is only one, but some
drivers may have several available with different capabilities.

There may be none if SDL was compiled without render support.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
