/**
* An enum that describes the type of a pen device.
*
* A "direct" device is a pen that touches a graphic display (like an
* Apple Pencil on an iPad's screen). "Indirect" devices touch an external
* tablet surface that is connected to the machine but is not a display (like
* a lower-end Wacom tablet connected over USB).
*
* Apps may use this information to decide if they should draw a cursor; if
* the pen is touching the screen directly, a cursor doesn't make sense and
* can be in the way, but becomes necessary for indirect devices to know where
* on the display they are interacting.
*
* \since This enum is available since SDL 3.4.0.
