SDL_IOStream* SDL_GetProcessOutput(SDL_Process *process);

Function Parameters

SDL_Process *

process

The process to get the output stream for.

Return Value

(SDL_IOStream *) Returns the output stream or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Reading from this stream can return 0 with SDL_GetIOStatus() returning SDL_IO_STATUS_NOT_READY if no output is available yet.
