IMG_LoadPCX_IO(3)

💅 IMG_LoadPCX_IO(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL_image3 FUNCTIONS manual page for IMG_LoadPCX_IO. this one is short and sweet, and it's giving "i know exactly what file type i have" energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

IMG_LoadPCX_IO — load a PCX image directly. that's the whole name section, slay. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3_image/SDL_image.h>

SDL_Surface * IMG_LoadPCX_IO(SDL_IOStream *src);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

If you know you definitely have a PCX image, you can call this function, and it will skip SDL_image's file format detection routines. no detective work, no "hmm what could this be," just straight to PCX. 💅

Generally it's better to use the abstract interfaces — lowkey that's the usual rec — and also, there is only an SDL_IOStream interface available here. so that's the vibe. ✨

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

• src — an SDL_IOStream to load image data from. that's the whole parameter list, bestie. 🍓

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Returns SDL surface, or NULL on error. so: win = surface, flop = NULL, no cap. 😭

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0. periodt. 💜
