SDL_GetSensorTypeForID(3)

💖 SDL_GetSensorTypeForID 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_GetSensorTypeForID(3) page — it's from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual, and it's literally the glow-up you need when you wanna know what kind of sensor you're dealing with 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GetSensorTypeForID — get the type of a sensor. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_sensor.h>

SDL_SensorType SDL_GetSensorTypeForID(SDL_SensorID instance_id);

like, one include, one call, no drama 🦋

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so here's the tea: this one asks the sensor "hey, what are you?" and it tells you its SDL_SensorType. 💖

and the iconic part? This can be called before any sensors are opened. no opening required, no setup ritual, no waiting around. she's ready when you are, no cap. ✨

---

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

• instance_id — the sensor instance ID. that's the lil name-tag number for whichever sensor you're asking about 🌸

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

she hands you back the SDL_SensorType — the sensor's whole identity, slay 👑

but if instance_id is not valid, you get SDL_SENSOR_INVALID back instead. so like, vibe check your ID before you come crying to her 😭

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0 — she's been around, she's seasoned, she ate 🍓

---

ngl if you pass a bogus instance_id don't expect a cute answer, expect SDL_SENSOR_INVALID. periodt. 💀
