HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_video.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

displayID

the instance ID of the display to query.

RETURN VALUE¶

(const SDL_DisplayMode
*) Returns a pointer to the desktop display mode or NULL on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.
