```

## Function Parameters

|                                              |                |                                                                                         |
| -------------------------------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [SDL_Window](SDL_Window) *                   | **window**     | The shaped window whose parameters should be retrieved.                                 |
| [SDL_WindowShapeMode](SDL_WindowShapeMode) * | **shape_mode** | An empty shape-mode structure to fill, or NULL to check whether the window has a shape. |

## Return Value

(int) Return 0 if the window has a shape and, provided shape_mode was not
NULL, shape_mode has been filled with the mode data,
[SDL_NONSHAPEABLE_WINDOW](SDL_NONSHAPEABLE_WINDOW) if the
[SDL_Window](SDL_Window) given is not a shaped window, or
[SDL_WINDOW_LACKS_SHAPE](SDL_WINDOW_LACKS_SHAPE) if the
[SDL_Window](SDL_Window) given is a shapeable window currently lacking a
shape.
