NAME¶

SDL_GetStringProperty - Get a string property from a group of properties.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_properties.h>

const char * SDL_GetStringProperty(SDL_PropertiesID props, const char *name, const char *default_value);

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

props

the properties to query.

name

the name of the property to query.

default_value

the default value of the property.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns the value of the property, or default_value if it is not set or not a string property.

THREAD SAFETY¶

It is safe to call this function from any thread, although the data returned is not protected and could potentially be freed if you call SDL_SetStringProperty() or SDL_ClearProperty() on these properties from another thread. If you need to avoid this, use SDL_LockProperties() and SDL_UnlockProperties().

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
