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

SDL_GetVersion

Get the version of SDL that is linked against your program.

Header File

Syntax

void SDL_GetVersion(SDL_version * ver);

Function Parameters

SDL_version *

ver

the SDL_version structure that contains the version information.

Remarks

If you are linking to SDL dynamically, then it is possible that the current version will be different than the version you compiled against. This function returns the current version, while SDL_VERSION() is a macro that tells you what version you compiled with.

This function may be called safely at any time, even before SDL_Init().

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
