SDL_hid_device_change_count - Check to see if devices may have been added or removed.
Contents
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Description
Enumerating the HID devices is an expensive operation, so you can call this to see if there have been any
system device changes since the last call to this function. A change in the counter returned doesn't
necessarily mean that anything has changed, but you can call
SDL_hid_enumerate () to get an updated device list.
Calling this function for the first time may cause a thread or other system resource to be allocated to
track device change notifications.
