SDL driver writing documentation

SDL Development

Hi,

Is there any documentation on how to write a SDL back-end drivers ?
ie which functions must be implemented (and what are they supposed to do
exactly) Are some functions optionnal, etc…

Or is the source of existing driver the only doc?

Thanks–

Yep, they’re the best doc. You can take a look at the dummy driver for
an example of pretty much minimal setup.
