SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB

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

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_LIBUSB "SDL_HIDAPI_LIBUSB"

Remarks

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.

Version

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
