25 * Official documentation for SDL configuration variables
27 * This file contains functions to set and get configuration hints,
28 * as well as listing each of them alphabetically.
30 * The convention for naming hints is SDL_HINT_X, where "SDL_X" is
31 * the environment variable that can be used to override the default.
33 * In general these hints are just that - they may or may not be
34 * supported or applicable on any given platform, but they provide
35 * a way for an application or user to give the library a hint as
36 * to how they would like the library to work.

175 * context will be automatically saved and restored when pausing the application. Additionally, some
176 * platforms will assume usage of OpenGL if Vulkan isn't used. Setting this to "1" will prevent this
177 * behavior, which is desireable when the application manages the graphics context, such as

931 /** \brief Allows back-button-press events on Windows Phone to be marked as handled
933 * Windows Phone devices typically feature a Back button. When pressed,
934 * the OS will emit back-button-press events, which apps are expected to
935 * handle in an appropriate manner. If apps do not explicitly mark these
936 * events as 'Handled', then the OS will invoke its default behavior for
937 * unhandled back-button-press events, which on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 is to
938 * terminate the app (and attempt to switch to the previous app, or to the
939 * device's home screen).
941 * Setting the SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON hint to "1" will cause SDL
942 * to mark back-button-press events as Handled, if and when one is sent to
945 * Internally, Windows Phone sends back button events as parameters to
946 * special back-button-press callback functions. Apps that need to respond
947 * to back-button-press events are expected to register one or more
948 * callback functions for such, shortly after being launched (during the
949 * app's initialization phase). After the back button is pressed, the OS
950 * will invoke these callbacks. If the app's callback(s) do not explicitly
951 * mark the event as handled by the time they return, or if the app never
952 * registers one of these callback, the OS will consider the event
953 * un-handled, and it will apply its default back button behavior (terminate
956 * SDL registers its own back-button-press callback with the Windows Phone
957 * OS. This callback will emit a pair of SDL key-press events (SDL_KEYDOWN
958 * and SDL_KEYUP), each with a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK, after which
959 * it will check the contents of the hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON.
960 * If the hint's value is set to "1", the back button event's Handled
961 * property will get set to 'true'. If the hint's value is set to something
962 * else, or if it is unset, SDL will leave the event's Handled property
963 * alone. (By default, the OS sets this property to 'false', to note.)
965 * SDL apps can either set SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON well before a
966 * back button is pressed, or can set it in direct-response to a back button
969 * In order to get notified when a back button is pressed, SDL apps should
970 * register a callback function with SDL_AddEventWatch(), and have it listen
971 * for SDL_KEYDOWN events that have a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK.

1258 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1260 * "0" or "default" - Use SDL's internal resampling (Default when not set - low quality, fast)
1261 * "1" or "fast" - Use fast, slightly higher quality resampling, if available
1262 * "2" or "medium" - Use medium quality resampling, if available
1263 * "3" or "best" - Use high quality resampling, if available

1268 * \brief A variable controlling the audio category on iOS and Mac OS X
1270 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1272 * "ambient" - Use the AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient audio category, will be muted by the phone mute switch (default)
1273 * "playback" - Use the AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback category

1282 * \brief Set Tizen indicator opacity
1284 * The variable can be one of
1285 * "#opaque" - Opacifies the indicator
1286 * "#translucent" - Be translucent the indicator
1287 * "#transparent" - Transparentizes the indicator (this is the default)
1288 * "#bg_transparent" - Transparentizes the indicator background

1293 * \brief A variable controlling whether the 2D render API is compatible or efficient.
1295 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1297 * "0" - Don't use batching to make rendering more efficient.
1298 * "1" - Use batching, but might cause problems if app makes its own direct OpenGL calls.
1300 * Up to SDL 2.0.9, the render API would draw immediately when requested. Now
1301 * it batches up draw requests and sends them all to the GPU only when forced
1302 * to (during SDL_RenderPresent, when changing render targets, by updating a
1303 * texture that the batch needs, etc). This is significantly more efficient,
1304 * but it can cause problems for apps that expect to render on top of the
1305 * render API's output. As such, SDL will disable batching if a specific
1306 * render backend is requested (since this might indicate that the app is
1307 * planning to use the underlying graphics API directly). This hint can
1308 * be used to explicitly request batching in this instance. It is a contract
1309 * that you will either never use the underlying graphics API directly, or
1310 * if you do, you will call SDL_RenderFlush() before you do so any current
1311 * batch goes to the GPU before your work begins. Not following this contract
1312 * will result in undefined behavior.

1317 * \brief A variable controlling whether SDL updates joystick state when getting input events
1319 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1321 * "0" - You'll call SDL_JoystickUpdate() manually
1322 * "1" - SDL will automatically call SDL_JoystickUpdate() (default)
1324 * This hint can be toggled on and off at runtime.

1330 * \brief A variable controlling whether SDL updates sensor state when getting input events
1332 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1334 * "0" - You'll call SDL_SensorUpdate() manually
1335 * "1" - SDL will automatically call SDL_SensorUpdate() (default)
1337 * This hint can be toggled on and off at runtime.
1339 #define SDL_HINT_AUTO_UPDATE_SENSORS "SDL_AUTO_UPDATE_SENSORS"
1343 * \brief A variable controlling whether SDL logs all events pushed onto its internal queue.
1345 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1347 * "0" - Don't log any events (default)
1348 * "1" - Log all events except mouse and finger motion, which are pretty spammy.
1349 * "2" - Log all events.
1351 * This is generally meant to be used to debug SDL itself, but can be useful
1352 * for application developers that need better visibility into what is going
1353 * on in the event queue. Logged events are sent through SDL_Log(), which
1354 * means by default they appear on stdout on most platforms or maybe
1355 * OutputDebugString() on Windows, and can be funneled by the app with
1356 * SDL_LogSetOutputFunction(), etc.
1358 * This hint can be toggled on and off at runtime, if you only need to log
1359 * events for a small subset of program execution.
1361 #define SDL_HINT_EVENT_LOGGING "SDL_EVENT_LOGGING"
1366 * \brief Controls how the size of the RIFF chunk affects the loading of a WAVE file.
1368 * The size of the RIFF chunk (which includes all the sub-chunks of the WAVE
1369 * file) is not always reliable. In case the size is wrong, it's possible to
1370 * just ignore it and step through the chunks until a fixed limit is reached.
1372 * Note that files that have trailing data unrelated to the WAVE file or
1373 * corrupt files may slow down the loading process without a reliable boundary.
1374 * By default, SDL stops after 10000 chunks to prevent wasting time. Use the
1375 * environment variable SDL_WAVE_CHUNK_LIMIT to adjust this value.
1377 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1379 * "force" - Always use the RIFF chunk size as a boundary for the chunk search
1380 * "ignorezero" - Like "force", but a zero size searches up to 4 GiB (default)
1381 * "ignore" - Ignore the RIFF chunk size and always search up to 4 GiB
1382 * "maximum" - Search for chunks until the end of file (not recommended)
1384 #define SDL_HINT_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE "SDL_WAVE_RIFF_CHUNK_SIZE"
1387 * \brief Controls how a truncated WAVE file is handled.
1389 * A WAVE file is considered truncated if any of the chunks are incomplete or
1390 * the data chunk size is not a multiple of the block size. By default, SDL
1391 * decodes until the first incomplete block, as most applications seem to do.
1393 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1395 * "verystrict" - Raise an error if the file is truncated
1396 * "strict" - Like "verystrict", but the size of the RIFF chunk is ignored
1397 * "dropframe" - Decode until the first incomplete sample frame
1398 * "dropblock" - Decode until the first incomplete block (default)
1400 #define SDL_HINT_WAVE_TRUNCATION "SDL_WAVE_TRUNCATION"
1403 * \brief Controls how the fact chunk affects the loading of a WAVE file.
1405 * The fact chunk stores information about the number of samples of a WAVE
1406 * file. The Standards Update from Microsoft notes that this value can be used
1407 * to 'determine the length of the data in seconds'. This is especially useful
1408 * for compressed formats (for which this is a mandatory chunk) if they produce
1409 * multiple sample frames per block and truncating the block is not allowed.
1410 * The fact chunk can exactly specify how many sample frames there should be
1413 * Unfortunately, most application seem to ignore the fact chunk and so SDL
1414 * ignores it by default as well.
1416 * This variable can be set to the following values:
1418 * "truncate" - Use the number of samples to truncate the wave data if
1419 * the fact chunk is present and valid
1420 * "strict" - Like "truncate", but raise an error if the fact chunk
1421 * is invalid, not present for non-PCM formats, or if the
1422 * data chunk doesn't have that many samples
1423 * "ignorezero" - Like "truncate", but ignore fact chunk if the number of
1425 * "ignore" - Ignore fact chunk entirely (default)

1430 * \brief Override for SDL_GetDisplayUsableBounds()
1432 * If set, this hint will override the expected results for
1433 * SDL_GetDisplayUsableBounds() for display index 0. Generally you don't want
1434 * to do this, but this allows an embedded system to request that some of the
1435 * screen be reserved for other uses when paired with a well-behaved
1438 * The contents of this hint must be 4 comma-separated integers, the first
1439 * is the bounds x, then y, width and height, in that order.

1444 * \brief Specify an application name for an audio device.
1446 * Some audio backends (such as PulseAudio) allow you to describe your audio
1447 * stream. Among other things, this description might show up in a system
1448 * control panel that lets the user adjust the volume on specific audio
1449 * streams instead of using one giant master volume slider.
1451 * This hints lets you transmit that information to the OS. The contents of
1452 * this hint are used while opening an audio device. You should use a string
1453 * that describes your program ("My Game 2: The Revenge")
1455 * Setting this to "" or leaving it unset will have SDL use a reasonable
1456 * default: probably the application's name or "SDL Application" if SDL
1457 * doesn't have any better information.
1459 * On targets where this is not supported, this hint does nothing.

1474 * probably sufficient in many cases, but this could be useful for something
1475 * like "team chat" if you have a headset playing VoIP audio separately).
1477 * Setting this to "" or leaving it unset will have SDL use a reasonable

1489 * user's preferred locales. Changing this hint at runtime will not generate
1490 * a SDL_LOCALECHANGED event (but if you can change the hint, you can push
1491 * your own event, if you want).
1493 * The format of this hint is a comma-separated list of language and locale,
1494 * combined with an underscore, as is a common format: "en_GB". Locale is
1495 * optional: "en". So you might have a list like this: "en_GB,jp,es_PT"
