# SDL_InitFlags

Initialization flags for [SDL_Init](SDL_Init) and/or [SDL_InitSubSystem](SDL_InitSubSystem)

## Header File

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

## Syntax

```c
typedef Uint32 SDL_InitFlags;

#define SDL_INIT_AUDIO      0x00000010u /**< `SDL_INIT_AUDIO` implies `SDL_INIT_EVENTS` */
#define SDL_INIT_VIDEO      0x00000020u /**< `SDL_INIT_VIDEO` implies `SDL_INIT_EVENTS`, should be initialized on the main thread */
#define SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK   0x00000200u /**< `SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK` implies `SDL_INIT_EVENTS`, should be initialized on the same thread as SDL_INIT_VIDEO on Windows if you don't set SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_THREAD */
#define SDL_INIT_HAPTIC     0x00001000u
#define SDL_INIT_GAMEPAD    0x00002000u /**< `SDL_INIT_GAMEPAD` implies `SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK` */
#define SDL_INIT_EVENTS     0x00004000u
#define SDL_INIT_SENSOR     0x00008000u /**< `SDL_INIT_SENSOR` implies `SDL_INIT_EVENTS` */
#define SDL_INIT_CAMERA     0x00010000u /**< `SDL_INIT_CAMERA` implies `SDL_INIT_EVENTS` */
```

## Remarks

These are the flags which may be passed to [SDL_Init](SDL_Init)(). You
should specify the subsystems which you will be using in your application.
