23 * # CategoryHints
24 *
25 * This file contains functions to set and get configuration hints, as well as
26 * listing each of them alphabetically.
27 *
28 * The convention for naming hints is SDL_HINT_X, where "SDL_X" is the
29 * environment variable that can be used to override the default.
30 *
31 * In general these hints are just that - they may or may not be supported or
32 * applicable on any given platform, but they provide a way for an application
33 * or user to give the library a hint as to how they would like the library to
34 * work.
