SDL_GetSystemRAM — literally just tells you how much RAM your system has configured. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_cpuinfo.h>

no args, no drama, no chaos. she takes void and she takes it proudly ✨

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

she hands you back an int — the amount of RAM configured in the system, measured in MiB 💾

so like. if you get 16384 back, that's 16384 MiB. do with that information what you will, bestie. math is your friend, i believe in you 🌈
