NAME

       SDL_GetScancodeName - Get a human-readable name for a scancode.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_keyboard.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       const char * SDL_GetScancodeName(SDL_Scancode scancode);

DESCRIPTION

       Warning : The returned name is by design not stable across platforms, e.g. the name for SDL_SCANCODE_LGUI
       is  "Left  GUI"  under  Linux  but  "Left  Windows"  under  Microsoft  Windows,  and  some scancodes like
       SDL_SCANCODE_NONUSBACKSLASH don't have any name at all. There are even scancodes that share names, e.g.

       SDL_SCANCODE_RETURN and

       SDL_SCANCODE_RETURN2 (both called "Return"). This function is therefore unsuitable for creating a  stable
       cross-platform two-way mapping between strings and scancodes.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       scancode
              the desired SDL_Scancode
               to query.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the name for the scancode. If the scancode doesn't have a name this function returns
       an empty string ("").

THREAD SAFETY

       This function is not thread safe.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
