/**
 * # CategoryMouse
 *
 * Any GUI application has to deal with the mouse, and SDL provides functions
 * to manage mouse input and the displayed cursor.
 *
 * Most interactions with the mouse will come through the event subsystem.
 * Moving a mouse generates an SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_MOTION event, pushing a button
 * generates SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_DOWN, etc, but one can also query the
 * current state of the mouse at any time with SDL_GetMouseState().
 *
 * For certain games, it's useful to disassociate the mouse cursor from mouse
 * input. An FPS, for example, would not want the player's motion to stop as
 * the mouse hits the edge of the window. For these scenarios, use
 * SDL_SetWindowRelativeMouseMode(), which hides the cursor, grabs mouse input
 * to the window, and reads mouse input no matter how far it moves.
 *
 * Games that want the system to track the mouse but want to draw their own
 * cursor can use SDL_HideCursor() and SDL_ShowCursor(). It might be more
 * efficient to let the system manage the cursor, if possible, using
 * SDL_SetCursor() with a custom image made through SDL_CreateColorCursor(),
 * or perhaps just a specific system cursor from SDL_CreateSystemCursor().
 *
 * SDL can, on many platforms, differentiate between multiple connected mice,
 * allowing for interesting input scenarios and multiplayer games. They can be
 * enumerated with SDL_GetMice(), and SDL will send SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_ADDED and
 * SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_REMOVED events as they are connected and unplugged.
 *
 * Since many apps only care about basic mouse input, SDL offers a virtual
 * mouse device for touch and pen input, which often can make a desktop
 * application work on a touchscreen phone without any code changes. Apps that
 * care about touch/pen separately from mouse input should filter out events
 * with a `which` field of SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID/SDL_PEN_MOUSEID.

 *
 * Animated cursors are composed of a sequential array of frames, specified as
 * surfaces and durations in an array of SDL_CursorFrameInfo structs. The hot
 * spot coordinates are universal to all frames, and all frames must have the
 * same dimensions.
 *
 * Frame durations are specified in milliseconds. A duration of 0 implies an
 * infinite frame time, and the animation will stop on that frame. To create a
 * one-shot animation, set the duration of the last frame in the sequence to
 * 0.
 *
 * If this function is passed surfaces with alternate representations added
 * with SDL_AddSurfaceAlternateImage(), the surfaces will be interpreted as
 * the content to be used for 100% display scale, and the alternate
 * representations will be used for high DPI situations. For example, if the
 * original surfaces are 32x32, then on a 2x macOS display or 200% display
 * scale on Windows, a 64x64 version of the image will be used, if available.
 * If a matching version of the image isn't available, the closest larger size
 * image will be downscaled to the appropriate size and be used instead, if
 * available. Otherwise, the closest smaller image will be upscaled and be
 * used instead.
 *
 * If the underlying platform does not support animated cursors, this function
 * will fall back to creating a static color cursor using the first frame in
 * the sequence.
 *
 * \param frames an array of cursor images composing the animation.
 * \param frame_count the number of frames in the sequence.
 * \param hot_x the x position of the cursor hot spot.
 * \param hot_y the y position of the cursor hot spot.
 * \returns the new cursor on success or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError()
 *          for more information.
 *
 * \threadsafety This function should only be called on the main thread.
 *
 * \since This function is available since SDL 3.4.0.
