Overview

This function is called internally to translate SDL_Gamepad

mapping strings for the underlying joystick device into the consistent

SDL_Gamepad
mapping. You do not normally need to call this function unless you are parsing SDL_Gamepad
mappings in your own code.

Note specially that "righttrigger" and "lefttrigger" map to

SDL_GAMEPAD_AXIS_RIGHT_TRIGGER and

SDL_GAMEPAD_AXIS_LEFT_TRIGGER , respectively.

Function parameters

str

string representing a SDL_Gamepad
axis.

Return value

( SDL_GamepadAxis ) Returns the

SDL_GamepadAxis
enum corresponding to the input string, or SDL_GAMEPAD_AXIS_INVALID if no match was found.

Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
