Offer clipboard data to the OS.

Header File

Defined in SDL3/SDL_clipboard.h

Synopsis

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

bool SDL_SetClipboardData(SDL_ClipboardDataCallback callback, SDL_ClipboardCleanupCallback cleanup, void *userdata, const char **mime_types, size_t num_mime_types);

Description

Tell the operating system that the application is offering clipboard data for each of the provided mime-types. Once another application requests the data the callback function will be called, allowing it to generate and respond with the data for the requested mime-type.

The size of text data does not include any terminator, and the text does not need to be null terminated (e.g. you can directly copy a portion of a document).

userdata

mime_types

a list of mime-types that are being offered.

num_mime_types

the number of mime-types in the mime_types list.

Return Value

Returns true on success or false on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

This function should only be called on the main thread.

Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
