SDL_GetGamepadAxisFromString - Man Page

#include <SDL3/SDL_gamepad.h>

SDL_GamepadAxis SDL_GetGamepadAxisFromString(const char *str);

This function is called internally to translate SDL_Gamepad mapping strings for the underlying joystick device into the consistent SDL_Gamepad mapping. You do not normally need to call this function unless you are parsing SDL_Gamepad mappings in your own code.

Note specially that "righttrigger" and "lefttrigger" map to SDL_GAMEPAD_AXIS_RIGHT_TRIGGER and SDL_GAMEPAD_AXIS_LEFT_TRIGGER, respectively.

str

string representing a SDL_Gamepad axis.

Returns the SDL_GamepadAxis enum corresponding to the input string, or SDL_GAMEPAD_AXIS_INVALID if no match was found.

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
