💖 MIX_GetTrackProperties 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the MIX_GetTrackProperties page in the SDL_mixer3 family of functions 💅 she's short, she's sweet, she's the little storage locker your tracks have been waiting for.

✨ NAME ✨

MIX_GetTrackProperties — Get the properties associated with a track.

like. that's it. that's the whole job. she just tells you which properties belong to a track 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h>

SDL_PropertiesID MIX_GetTrackProperties(MIX_Track *track);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 Currently SDL_mixer assigns no properties of its own to a track. like, zero, none, nada. she's not gatekeeping anything from you — there's genuinely nothing there yet.

BUT. and this is the iconic part ✨ this can be a convenient place to store app-specific data. think of it as your track's very own little purse 👜 — SDL_mixer doesn't put anything in it, but you absolutely can.

Also important, no cap: SDL_PropertiesID is created the first time this function is called for a given track. so the very first time you ask, boom 💥 the ID gets made. it's giving "manifesting on first ask."

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

  • track — the track you're querying. the one you're asking about. the main character in question 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • on success → returns a valid property ID 🫶
  • on failure → returns 0 😭

and if you got that sad little 0, go call SDL_GetError() for more information. she'll tell you what went wrong, fr fr.

💜 THREAD SAFETY 💜

It is safe to call this function from any thread. yes bestie, ANY. go wild, no stress 🌈

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

This function is available since SDL_mixer 3.0.0. so if you're on anything older, she's not there yet, sorry babe 🙈

mwah 💋 that's the whole page! this little love letter comes to you from the SDL_mixer 3.2.4 manual pages, and that's the version and source stamped on this one — the footer energy is all hers, so go forth and store your app-specific data in your track's cute lil property bag 🧚💖
