Description

Lets software expecting SDL2 use SDL3 underneath through a compatibility layer. This can help applications and games move toward newer SDL internals while keeping the SDL2 interface they were built against.

It is a runtime compatibility library, not an app. Compatibility depends on the program and hardware input or graphics features it uses, so test affected games and multimedia apps after switching layers.
