---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_hidapi.h>

SDL_hid_device_info * SDL_hid_get_device_info(SDL_hid_device *dev);

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• dev — a device handle that you got back from SDL_hid_open(). like, the one you already opened, no cap 🫶

---

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

It hands you back a pointer to the SDL_hid_device_info for this hid_device, or NULL if it failed 😭 — and if it's NULL, pls call SDL_GetError() for more information, she'll tell you what went wrong.

⚠️ okay so this is the important part: that struct is only valid until the device is closed with SDL_hid_close(). after that it's giving expired, do not touch it 💀

---

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

This function has been available since SDL 3.2.0 ✨ so if you're on anything older, it's literally not there yet, sorry bestie 🙈

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 🍓 go get your device info and slay 👑
