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

SDL_hid_read_timeout

Read an Input report from a HID device with timeout.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hidapi.h>

Syntax

int SDL_hid_read_timeout(SDL_hid_device *dev, unsigned char *data, size_t length, int milliseconds);

Function Parameters

dev	A device handle returned from SDL_hid_open().
data	A buffer to put the read data into.
length	The number of bytes to read. For devices with multiple reports, make sure to read an extra byte for the report number.
milliseconds	timeout in milliseconds or -1 for blocking wait.

Return Value

Returns the actual number of bytes read and -1 on error. If no packet was available to be read within the timeout period, this function returns 0.

Remarks

Input reports are returned to the host through the INTERRUPT IN endpoint. The first byte will contain the Report number if the device uses numbered reports.
