# SDL_HINT_ORIENTATIONS

A variable controlling which orientations are allowed on iOS/Android.

## Header File

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

## Syntax

```c
#define SDL_HINT_ORIENTATIONS "SDL_ORIENTATIONS"
```

## Remarks

In some circumstances it is necessary to be able to explicitly control
which UI orientations are allowed.

This variable is a space delimited list of the following values:

- "LandscapeLeft"
- "LandscapeRight"
- "Portrait"
- "PortraitUpsideDown"

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.
