SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB3

A variable to control whether hidapi uses libusb for device access.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB SDL_HIDAPI_LIBUSB"

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

By default libusb will only be used for a few devices that require direct USB access, and this can be controlled with

SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB_WHITELIST .

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": HIDAPI will not use libusb for device access.

• "1": HIDAPI will use libusb for device access if available. (default)

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
