SDL provides a means to identify the app's platform, both at compile time and runtime. Get the name of the platform.

Here are the names returned for some (but not all) supported platforms:

• "Windows"
• "macOS"
• "Linux"
• "iOS"
• "Android"

Returns

the name of the platform. If the correct platform name is not available, returns a string beginning with the text "Unknown".

Thread safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

FFI conventions

Unsuffixed aliases are unsafe foreign imports; aliases suffixed Safe are safe. Functions whose callbacks fire during the call export only the Safe alias (the genuine unsafe import stays reachable under SDL3.Sys.Bindgen.Platform.Unsafe); functions curated unsafe-only export only the unsuffixed one. Each alias's documentation records its flavor and rationale.

Full conventions: SDL3.Sys.
