(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_GetNumJoystickAxes

Get the number of general axis controls on a joystick.

Syntax

int SDL_GetNumJoystickAxes(SDL_Joystick *joystick);

Function Parameters

joystick

an SDL_Joystick structure containing joystick information

Return Value

Returns the number of axis controls/number of axes on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

Often, the directional pad on a game controller will either look like 4 separate buttons or a POV hat, and not axes, but all of this is up to the device and platform.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
