SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING

A variable controlling whether the X11 _NET_WM_PING protocol should be supported.

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING      "SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING"

Remarks

This variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Disable _NET_WM_PING
• "1": Enable _NET_WM_PING

By default SDL will use _NET_WM_PING, but for applications that know they will not always be able to respond to ping requests in a timely manner they can turn it off to avoid the window manager thinking the app is hung. The hint is checked in CreateWindow.
