SDL_PathInfo(3type)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, you just opened the SDL_PathInfo(3type) page from the SDL3 DATATYPES section, and it's literally all about the 411 on a path in your filesystem 💅

SDL_PathInfo — information about a path on the filesystem. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "tell me everything about this file/folder" and honestly? iconic. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_filesystem.h>

typedef struct SDL_PathInfo
{
    SDL_PathType type;      /**< the path type */
    Uint64 size;            /**< the file size in bytes */
    SDL_Time create_time;   /**< the time when the path was created */
    SDL_Time modify_time;   /**< the last time the path was modified */
    SDL_Time access_time;   /**< the last time the path was read */
} SDL_PathInfo;

so this struct is like a little info card for a path, and every field is doing its own main character thing:

• type — the path type (file? folder? something else? it's in there) 🌈
• size — the file size in bytes, so you know how chunky it is
• create_time — the time when the path was created, its birthday fr fr 🎂
• modify_time — the last time the path was modified, aka its last glow-up ✨
• access_time — the last time the path was read, lowkey its last "seen at" timestamp 👀

all wrapped up as SDL_PathInfo, periodt.
