SDL_GetStoragePathInfo(3)

💖 SDL_GetStoragePathInfo(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, where today's main character is SDL_GetStoragePathInfo 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GetStoragePathInfo — get the tea ☕ on a filesystem path inside a storage container. Like, what even is that path? Is it there? Is it not? We're finding out.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_storage.h>

bool SDL_GetStoragePathInfo(SDL_Storage *storage, const char *path, SDL_PathInfo *info);

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• storage — a storage container. yeah. the container. the place where the stuff lives. that one 🫶
• path — the path you wanna interrogate. ask it questions. it's the path to query, bestie.
• info — a pointer that gets filled in with info about the path. or NULL if you literally just wanna check whether a file exists. lowkey the laziest possible query and honestly? valid.

---

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

Returns true on success, or false if the file doesn't exist — or if something else went wrong, because of course something else can go wrong 😭

If you're getting false and you're like "but WHY though", call SDL_GetError() for more information. it'll tell you. it always tells you. not me checking the error string every single time 🙈

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older, no it isn't, and that's the vibe check result 🌈
