SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB(3) SDL3 FUNCTIONS SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB(3)

SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB - A variable to control whether HIDAPI uses libusb for device access.

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
#define SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB SDL_HIDAPI_LIBUSB"

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.

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
