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

SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING

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

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING      "SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING"

Remarks

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 variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Disable _NET_WM_PING.
• "1": Enable _NET_WM_PING. (default)

This hint should be set before creating a window.

Version

This hint is available since SDL 3.0.0.
