SDL_WM_SetCaption(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_WM_SetCaption — sets the window tile and icon name 🎀

(ok so yes, the page literally says "tile" and not "title" — not me editing the sacred texts bestie, we copy the manpage character for character around here 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include "SDL.h"

void SDL_WM_SetCaption(const char *title, const char *icon);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It sets the title-bar and the icon name of the display window. That's it. That's the whole thing. Two little strings walk into a window and suddenly everyone knows what your app is called ✨

The title is the title-bar situation, the icon is the icon name situation, and the function returns void because it's a chill queen who has nothing to report back to you 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• SDL_WM_GetCaption — the read-only bestie, for when you want to know what the caption currently is 👀
• SDL_WM_SetIcon — the actual-icon-pixels sibling, since this function only handles the name part of the icon vibe 🌈

no cap, this is a short one — go read the SEE ALSOs, they're the main characters of this trio 💜
