SDL_LogMessageV(3)

💖 SDL_LogMessageV(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the manual, and today's main character is SDL_LogMessageV. she's the one who logs a message for you with the category and priority you pick. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_LogMessageV — logs a message with the specified category and priority 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_log.h>

void SDL_LogMessageV(int category,
                     SDL_LogPriority priority,
                     const char *fmt, va_list ap);

like... look at her. five arguments in the signature, one of them is a whole va_list. she's giving variadic royalty 👑

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• category — the category of the message. that's it, that's the vibe check.
• priority — the priority of the message. how loud do you want this in the logs, bestie?
• fmt — a printf() style message format string. yes, the same energy as printf(), so format specifiers go here 🍓
• ap — a variable argument list. this is the pre-chewed-up args version, iykyk.

🦋 THREAD SAFETY 🦋

it is safe to call this function from any thread. literally any thread. go wild, she doesn't care, she was built for this 🌈

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐
