# SDL_SetCursor

Set the active cursor.

## Header File

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

## Syntax

```c
void SDL_SetCursor(SDL_Cursor * cursor);

```

## Function Parameters

## Remarks

This function sets the currently active cursor to the specified one. If the

cursor redraw, if this is desired for any reason.
