Function sdl2_sys::SDL_RenderGetMetalCommandEncoder

pub unsafe extern "C" fn SDL_RenderGetMetalCommandEncoder(
    renderer: *mut SDL_Renderer
) -> *mut c_void

Get the Metal command encoder for the current frame

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

Note that as of SDL 2.0.18, 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 backbacker. Check your return values!

\param renderer The renderer to query \returns an id<MTLRenderCommandEncoder> on success, or NULL if the renderer isn’t a Metal renderer or there was an error.

\since This function is available since SDL 2.0.8.
