IMG_LoadWEBPAnimation_IO(3)

💖 NAME 💖

IMG_LoadWEBPAnimation_IO — Load a WEBP animation directly. periodt. This is the IMG_LoadWEBPAnimation_IO(3) page from the SDL_image3 FUNCTIONS manual, and it’s giving “I know for a fact this is WEBP” energy, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here’s the exact include + signature, no cap:

#include <SDL3_image/SDL_image.h>

IMG_Animation * IMG_LoadWEBPAnimation_IO(SDL_IOStream *src);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

If you know you definitely have a WEBP image, you can call this function, and it will skip SDL_image's file format detection routines — like, no little format-sniffing side quest, it just goes straight in. 🎀

That said, the manual says it's generally better to use the abstract interfaces. Also, there is only an SDL_IOStream interface available here, bestie. That's the whole situation. 💖

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• src — an SDL_IOStream that data will be read from. That's the source stream, slay.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Returns a new IMG_Animation, or NULL on error. So if you get NULL, that's an error, no cap. 😭

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0. iconic behavior. ✨
