💖 SDL_hid_close(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the manual, and today's main character is SDL_hid_close — the girl whose whole job is saying bye to a HID device. no cap, she's a closer. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_hid_close — close a HID device. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she closes. periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_hidapi.h>

int SDL_hid_close(SDL_hid_device *dev);

like, you pull in the header, you hand her the handle, she handles it. iconic. 💅

🍓 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🍓

  • dev — a device handle returned from SDL_hid_open(). so like, not just any random handle you found on the floor, bestie — it's gotta be one that came from SDL_hid_open(). iykyk 🙈

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

she returns 0 on success, or a negative error code on failure. and if it fails?? don't just sit there spiraling — call SDL_GetError() for more information. she will tell you what went wrong, fr fr. 😭

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this one's been serving since SDL 3.2.0. vintage-ish. ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🫶 this lil' slice of wisdom comes to you from Simple Directmedia Layer, living its best life as SDL 3.4.18, dated SDL_hid_close(3) — go close a device, you absolute queen 👑💖
