+/**
+ * Inform SDL to use the main callbacks instead of main.
+ *
+ * SDL does not define this macro, but will check if it is defined to
+ * any value in SDL_main.h. If defined, SDL will expect the app
+ * to provide several functions: SDL_AppInit, SDL_AppEvent,
+ * SDL_AppIterate, and SDL_AppQuit. The app should not provide
+ * a `main` function in this case, and doing so will likely cause
+ * the build to fail.
+ *
+ * Please see [README/main-functions](README/main-functions), (or
+ * docs/README-main-functions.md in the source tree) for a more
+ * detailed explanation.
+ *
+ * \since This macro is used by the headers since SDL 3.0.0.
+ *
+ * \sa SDL_AppInit
+ * \sa SDL_AppEvent
