β¨ NAME β¨
SDL_HINT_STORAGE_TITLE_DRIVER β bestie, this is a variable that lets you pick which backend gets used for title storage. πΎβ¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>
#define SDL_HINT_STORAGE_TITLE_DRIVER "SDL_STORAGE_TITLE_DRIVER"
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so by default, SDL is that friend who's down for anything β it will try all available storage backends in a reasonable order until it finds one that can work. no fuss, no drama, it just keeps trying til something slays. π
but sometimes you're like, no bestie, I need THIS one. and that's exactly what this hint is for β it lets the app or user force a specific target. π
the classic example: say you're on Steam but you want to avoid SteamRemoteStorage for your title data. you'd force the target to "pc" instead. iconic, honestly. π
π«Ά heads up though β this hint should be set before SDL is initialized. like, set it early or it's giving too-late-sweetie energy. π
π¦ AVAILABILITY π¦
this hint has been available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything newer, you're chilling. π
