SDL_GetWindowParent(3)

💖 SDL_GetWindowParent 💖

okay so bestie, real talk — this is the SDL_GetWindowParent page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual, and it's literally just "who's your window's parent?" energy. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GetWindowParent — get the parent of a window. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• window — the window you wanna query. like, the one you're asking "so... who's your parent?" about. 👀

---

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

Returns the parent of the window on success ✨ — or NULL if the window has no parent. orphan window behaviour, honestly kinda iconic 😭

---

🦋 THREAD SAFETY 🦋

⚠️ this function should only be called on the main thread. do not try to be cute and call it from a worker thread, bestie, i'm begging 🙈

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈
