#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

int SDL_hid_read_timeout(SDL_hid_device *dev, unsigned char *data, size_t length, int milliseconds);

Input reports are returned to the host through the INTERRUPT IN endpoint. The first byte will contain the Report number if the device uses numbered reports.

dev

a device handle returned from SDL_hid_open ().

data

a buffer to put the read data into.

length

the number of bytes to read. For devices with multiple reports, make sure to read an extra byte for the report number.

milliseconds

timeout in milliseconds or -1 for blocking wait.

Returns the actual number of bytes read and -1 on on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information. If no packet was available to be read within the timeout period, this function returns 0.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
