What happens when you call SDL _ geterror ( )?

Returns a pointer to the created texture or NULL if no rendering context was active, the format was unsupported, or the width or height were out of range; call SDL_GetError () for more information. You can set the texture scaling method by setting SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY before creating the texture.

What are the parameters of the renderer function?
