SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_HINT_APP_NAME SDL_APP_NAME"

DESCRIPTION¶

This hint lets you specify the application name sent to the OS when required. For example, this will often appear in volume control applets for audio streams, and in lists of applications which are inhibiting the screensaver. You should use a string that describes your program ("My Game 2: The Revenge")

This will override

SDL_PROP_APP_METADATA_NAME_STRING , if set by the application.

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

AVAILABILITY¶

This hint is available since SDL 3.1.3.
