Header File

Defined in SDL3/SDL_filesystem.h

Synopsis

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

bool SDL_EnumerateDirectory(const char *path, SDL_EnumerateDirectoryCallback callback, void *userdata);

Description

This function provides every directory entry through an app-provided callback, called once for each directory entry, until all results have been provided or the callback returns either

SDL_ENUM_SUCCESS
or

SDL_ENUM_FAILURE .

This will return false if there was a system problem in general, or if a callback returns SDL_ENUM_FAILURE . A successful return means a callback returned SDL_ENUM_SUCCESS
to halt enumeration, or all directory entries were enumerated.

Function Parameters

path

the path of the directory to enumerate.

callback

a function that is called for each entry in the directory.

userdata

a pointer that is passed to callback .

Return Value

Returns true on success or false on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
