SDL_GetScancodeName

Get a human-readable name for a scancode.

**Warning**: The returned name is by design not stable across platforms, e.g. the name for SDL_SCANCODE_LGUI is "Left GUI" under Linux but "Left Windows" under Microsoft Windows, and some scancodes like SDL_SCANCODE_NONUSBACKSLASH don't have any name at all. There are even scancodes that share names, e.g. SDL_SCANCODE_RETURN and SDL_SCANCODE_RETURN2 (both called "Return"). This function is therefore unsuitable for creating a stable cross-platform two-way mapping between strings and scancodes.

Parameters

scancode SDL_Scancode

Threadsafety: This function is not thread safe.
