# SDL_GetGPUXRSwapchainFormats

Queries the GPU device for supported XR swapchain image formats.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3/SDL_openxr.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_openxr.h)

## Syntax

```c
SDL_GPUTextureFormat * SDL_GetGPUXRSwapchainFormats(SDL_GPUDevice *device, XrSession session, int *num_formats);
```

## Function Parameters

|                                  |                 |                                                                     |
| -------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [SDL_GPUDevice](SDL_GPUDevice) * | **device**      | a GPU context.                                                      |
| XrSession                        | **session**     | an OpenXR session created for the given device.                     |
| int *                            | **num_formats** | a pointer filled with the number of supported XR swapchain formats. |

## Return Value

([SDL_GPUTextureFormat](SDL_GPUTextureFormat) *) Returns a 0 terminated
array of supported formats or NULL on failure; call
[SDL_GetError](SDL_GetError)() for more information. This should be freed
with [SDL_free](SDL_free)() when it is no longer needed.

## Remarks

The returned pointer should be allocated with [SDL_malloc](SDL_malloc)()
and will be passed to [SDL_free](SDL_free)().

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.6.0.
