✨ SDL_WindowSupportsGPUPresentMode(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual 💅 this one's called SDL_WindowSupportsGPUPresentMode and it lives in the SDL3 function family, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_WindowSupportsGPUPresentMode — determines whether a presentation mode is supported by the window.

like. it literally just checks if your window can vibe with a given present mode. that's the whole job. 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

bool SDL_WindowSupportsGPUPresentMode(
    SDL_GPUDevice *device,
    SDL_Window *window,
    SDL_GPUPresentMode present_mode);

three args, one bool back. she's simple, she's efficient, she's iconic 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The window must be claimed before calling this function.

and I cannot stress this enough bestie — CLAIMED FIRST. if you haven't claimed that window for the GPU device yet, this function is not gonna have a good time. go do your SDL_ClaimWindowForGPUDevice homework first, then come back. periodt. 🫶

🍓 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🍓

• device — a GPU context. that's your GPU brain, your main character, the thing doing all the actual work ✨
• window — an SDL_Window. yes. the window. the literal window. the one on your screen. 🌈
• present_mode — the presentation mode to check. like we're putting it up against the vibe check and seeing if it passes 💅

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns true if supported, false if unsupported.

that's it. that's the tea. true = slay, go ahead. false = nope, not happening, pick a different present mode babe 😭
