IMG_LoadQOI_IO(3)

💅 IMG_LoadQOI_IO(3) — the QOI speedrun, bestie 💅

okay so this is from SDL_image3 FUNCTIONS — yes, the IMG_LoadQOI_IO(3) one — and it’s lowkey iconic: your direct little shortcut for loading a QOI image, no detective work required. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

IMG_LoadQOI_IO — load a QOI image directly. fr fr. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3_image/SDL_image.h>

SDL_Surface * IMG_LoadQOI_IO(SDL_IOStream *src);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So if you definitely know you have a QOI image, you can call this function, and it will skip SDL_image's file format detection routines. It’s giving “I already clocked the vibe, no need to sniff every format.” 👑

Generally it’s better to use the abstract interfaces; also, there is only an SDL_IOStream interface available here. Noted, bestie. 💖

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• src — an SDL_IOStream to load image data from. 🫶

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

Returns SDL surface, or NULL on error. That’s the whole mood — if it’s NULL, it is not slaying. 😭

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0. Periodt. ⭐
