NAME

SDL_OpenUserStorage - Opens up a container for a user's unique read/write filesystem.

HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3/SDL_storage.h

SYNOPSIS

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

SDL_Storage * SDL_OpenUserStorage(const char *org, const char *app, SDL_PropertiesID props);

DESCRIPTION

While title storage can generally be kept open throughout runtime, user storage should only be opened when the client is ready to read/write files. This allows the backend to properly batch file operations and flush them when the container has been closed; ensuring safe and optimal save I/O.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

org

the name of your organization.

app

the name of your application.

props

a property list that may contain backend-specific information.

RETURN VALUE

( SDL_Storage
*) Returns a user storage container on success or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError () for more information.

AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
