* Official documentation for SDL configuration variables
*
* This file contains functions to set and get configuration hints,
* as well as listing each of them alphabetically.
*
* The convention for naming hints is SDL_HINT_X, where "SDL_X" is
* the environment variable that can be used to override the default.
*
* In general these hints are just that - they may or may not be
* supported or applicable on any given platform, but they provide
* a way for an application or user to give the library a hint as
* to how they would like the library to work.

/**
* A variable setting the app ID string.
*
* This string is used by desktop compositors to identify and group windows together, as well as match applications with associated desktop settings and icons.
*
* On Wayland this corresponds to the "app ID" window property and on X11 this corresponds to the WM_CLASS property. Windows inherit the value of this hint at creation time. Changing this hint after a window has been created will not change the app ID or class of existing windows.
*
* For *nix platforms, this string should be formatted in reverse-DNS notation and follow some basic rules to be valid:
*
* - The application ID must be composed of two or more elements separated by a period (.) character.
*
* - Each element must contain one or more of the alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) plus underscore (_) and hyphen (-) and must not start with a digit. Note that hyphens, while technically allowed, should not be used if possible, as they are not supported by all components that use the ID, such as D-Bus. For maximum compatibility, replace hyphens with an underscore.
*
* - The empty string is not a valid element (ie: your application ID may not start or end with a period and it is not valid to have two periods in a row).
*
* - The entire ID must be less than 255 characters in length.
*
* Examples of valid app ID strings:
*
* - org.MyOrg.MyApp
* - com.your_company.your_app
*
* Desktops such as GNOME and KDE require that the app ID string matches your application's .desktop file name (e.g. if the app ID string is 'org.MyOrg.MyApp', your application's .desktop file should be named 'org.MyOrg.MyApp.desktop').
*
* If you plan to package your application in a container such as Flatpak, the app ID should match the name of your Flatpak container as well.
*
* If not set, SDL will attempt to use the application executable name.
* If the executable name cannot be retrieved, the generic string "SDL_App" will be used.

* This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

/**
* A variable controlling whether back-button-press events on Windows Phone to be marked as handled.
*
* Windows Phone devices typically feature a Back button. When pressed, the OS will emit back-button-press events, which apps are expected to handle in an appropriate manner. If apps do not explicitly mark these events as 'Handled', then the OS will invoke its default behavior for unhandled back-button-press events, which on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 is to terminate the app (and attempt to switch to the previous app, or to the device's home screen).
*
* Setting the SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON hint to "1" will cause SDL to mark back-button-press events as Handled, if and when one is sent to the app.
*
* Internally, Windows Phone sends back button events as parameters to special back-button-press callback functions. Apps that need to respond to back-button-press events are expected to register one or more callback functions for such, shortly after being launched (during the app's initialization phase). After the back button is pressed, the OS will invoke these callbacks. If the app's callback(s) do not explicitly mark the event as handled by the time they return, or if the app never registers one of these callback, the OS will consider the event un-handled, and it will apply its default back button behavior (terminate the app).
*
* SDL registers its own back-button-press callback with the Windows Phone OS. This callback will emit a pair of SDL key-press events (SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN and SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP), each with a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK, after which it will check the contents of the hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON. If the hint's value is set to "1", the back button event's Handled property will get set to 'true'. If the hint's value is set to something else, or if it is unset, SDL will leave the event's Handled property alone. (By default, the OS sets this property to 'false', to note.)
*
* SDL apps can either set SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON well before a back button is pressed, or can set it in direct-response to a back button being pressed.
*
* In order to get notified when a back button is pressed, SDL apps should register a callback function with SDL_AddEventWatch(), and have it listen for SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN events that have a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK. (Alternatively, SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP events can be listened-for. Listening for either event type is suitable.) Any value of SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON set by such a callback, will be applied to the OS' current back-button-press event.
*
* More details on back button behavior in Windows Phone apps can be found at the following page, on Microsoft's developer site:
* http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj247550(v=vs.105).aspx
