(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_GetIOStatus

Query the stream status of an SDL_IOStream.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_iostream.h>

Syntax

SDL_IOStatus SDL_GetIOStatus(SDL_IOStream *context);

Function Parameters

Return Value

Returns an SDL_IOStatus enum with the current state.

Remarks

This information can be useful to decide if a short read or write was due to an error, an EOF, or a non-blocking operation that isn't yet ready to complete.

An SDL_IOStream's status is only expected to change after a SDL_ReadIO or SDL_WriteIO call; don't expect it to change if you just call this query function in a tight loop.

Thread Safety

This function should not be called at the same time that another thread is operating on the same SDL_IOStream.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
