SDL_GetSensorType(3)

💖 SDL_GetSensorType(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, and today's main character is SDL_GetSensorType — the little glow-up that tells you what kind of sensor you're holding. no cap, it's a short one, but it's iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GetSensorType — get the type of a sensor. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_sensor.h>

SDL_SensorType SDL_GetSensorType(SDL_Sensor *sensor);

look at her. one include, one function, zero drama. 🦋

---

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

• sensor — the SDL_Sensor object you want to inspect. like, hand her over and she'll tell you what she is. 🔍

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns the SDL_SensorType type — the actual vibe classification of your sensor. 🌈

but if sensor is NULL? yeah, she's not gonna guess. you get SDL_SENSOR_INVALID back. not me handing her nothing and expecting answers 💀

fr fr, pass a real SDL_Sensor or you're getting SDL_SENSOR_INVALID. no in-between.

---

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

and that's the whole page, you ate that. mwah 💋
