SDL_EventAction(3type)

💖 SDL_EventAction(3type) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the page for SDL_EventAction from the SDL3 DATATYPES crew — it's literally the type of action you request from SDL_PeepEvents() ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_EventAction — the type of action to request from SDL_PeepEvents(). that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_events.h>

typedef enum SDL_EventAction
{
    SDL_ADDEVENT,  /**< Add events to the back of the queue. */
    SDL_PEEKEVENT, /**< Check but don't remove events from the queue front. */
    SDL_GETEVENT   /**< Retrieve/remove events from the front of the queue. */
} SDL_EventAction;

so like, the enum members are doing three totally different things and you gotta know which is which, no cap:

• SDL_ADDEVENT — adds events to the back of the queue. dropping them in the back, respectfully 🫶
• SDL_PEEKEVENT — checks events at the front of the queue but doesn't remove them. it's giving window shopping, look but don't touch 👀
• SDL_GETEVENT — retrieves and removes events from the front of the queue. okay so this one actually takes them home with it 😭

---

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

this enum has been available since SDL 3.2.0. iconic, honestly 🌈

---

fr fr, if you're passing one of these to SDL_PeepEvents(), double check which one you mean — peeking and getting are NOT the same thing and your queue will simply know the difference 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! brought to you by Simple Directmedia Layer, SDL 3.4.18, and yes this is the SDL_EventAction(3type) moment 👑 stay hydrated, read your man pages, periodt 💖🎀🌸
