Header File

Syntax

const char * SDL_getenv_unsafe(const char *name);

Function Parameters

const char *

name

the name of the variable to get.

Return Value

(const char *) Returns a pointer to the value of the variable or NULL if it can't be found.

Remarks

This function bypasses SDL's cached copy of the environment and is not thread-safe.

On some platforms, this may make case-insensitive matches, while other platforms are case-sensitive. It is best to be precise with strings used for queries through this interface. SDL_getenv is always case-sensitive, however.

Thread Safety

This function is not thread safe, consider using SDL_getenv() instead.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
