/**
* Initialize the SDL library.
*
* SDL_Init() simply forwards to calling SDL_InitSubSystem(). Therefore, the
* two may be used interchangeably. Though for readability of your code
* SDL_InitSubSystem() might be preferred.
*
* The file I/O (for example: SDL_RWFromFile) and threading (SDL_CreateThread)
* subsystems are initialized by default. Message boxes
* (SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox) also attempt to work without initializing the
* video subsystem, in hopes of being useful in showing an error dialog when
* SDL_Init fails. You must specifically initialize other subsystems if you
* use them in your application.
*
* Logging (such as SDL_Log) works without initialization, too.
*
* `flags` may be any of the following OR'd together:
*
* - `SDL_INIT_TIMER`: timer subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_AUDIO`: audio subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_VIDEO`: video subsystem; automatically initializes the events
* subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK`: joystick subsystem; automatically initializes the
* events subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_HAPTIC`: haptic (force feedback) subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_GAMECONTROLLER`: controller subsystem; automatically
* initializes the joystick subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_EVENTS`: events subsystem
* - `SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING`: all of the above subsystems
* - `SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE`: compatibility; this flag is ignored
*
* Subsystem initialization is ref-counted, you must call SDL_QuitSubSystem()
* for each SDL_InitSubSystem() to correctly shutdown a subsystem manually (or
* call SDL_Quit() to force shutdown). If a subsystem is already loaded then
* this call will increase the ref-count and return.
*
* \param flags subsystem initialization flags.
* \returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call
* SDL_GetError() for more information.
*
* \since This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
