## Header File

## Syntax

```c
typedef struct SDL_JoyDeviceEvent
{
    Uint32 type;        /**< SDL_JOYDEVICEADDED or SDL_JOYDEVICEREMOVED */
    Uint32 timestamp;   /**< In milliseconds, populated using SDL_GetTicks() */
    Sint32 which;       /**< The joystick device index for the ADDED event, instance id for the REMOVED event */
