NAME

       SDL_GetRenderMetalCommandEncoder - Get the Metal command encoder for the current frame.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_render.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       void * SDL_GetRenderMetalCommandEncoder(SDL_Renderer *renderer);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  returns void* , so SDL doesn't have to include Metal's headers, but it can be safely cast
       to an id<MTLRenderCommandEncoder> .

       This will return NULL if Metal refuses to give SDL a drawable to render to, which  might  happen  if  the
       window is hidden/minimized/offscreen. This doesn't apply to command encoders for render targets, just the
       window's backbuffer. Check your return values!

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       renderer
              the renderer to query.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  an  id<MTLRenderCommandEncoder>  on  success,  or NULL if the renderer isn't a Metal renderer or
       there was an error.

THREAD SAFETY

       This function should only be called on the main thread.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
