🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

SDL_GPUShaderFormat SDL_GetGPUShaderFormats(SDL_GPUDevice *device);

so you pull in SDL_gpu.h, you hand it a device, and it hands you back an SDL_GPUShaderFormat. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

• device — a GPU context to query. that's it, that's the whole list, she's low maintenance. ✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Returns a bitflag indicating which shader formats the driver is able to consume. so not a single format, a bitflag — it's giving "check the bits, bestie", iykyk. 👑
