NAME¶

SDL_GetPathInfo - Get information about a filesystem path.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_filesystem.h>

bool SDL_GetPathInfo(const char *path, SDL_PathInfo *info);

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

path

the path to query.

info

a pointer filled in with information about the path, or NULL to check for the existence of a file.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns true on success or false if the file doesn't exist, or another failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

THREAD SAFETY¶

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
