SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver

Get the name of the currently initialized video driver.

Header File

Syntax

const char * SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver(void);

Return Value

(const char *) Returns the name of the current video driver or NULL if no driver has been initialized.

Remarks

The names of drivers are all simple, low-ASCII identifiers, like "cocoa", "x11" or "windows". These never have Unicode characters, and are not meant to be proper names.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
