the name of the property to query.
the default value of the property.

Returns the value of the property, or default_value if it is not set or not a string property.

It is safe to call this function from any thread, although the data returned is not protected and could potentially be freed if you call

SDL_SetStringProperty () or

SDL_ClearProperty () on these properties from another thread. If you need to avoid this, use

SDL_LockProperties () and

SDL_UnlockProperties ().

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
