💅 IMG_LoadWEBP_IO(3) — the SDL_image3 functions girlies

okay so bestie, quick vibe check: you're in the SDL_image3 functions section of the manual, and today's main character is IMG_LoadWEBP_IO 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

IMG_LoadWEBP_IO — load a WEBP image directly, no detective work needed 🕵️‍♀️💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3_image/SDL_image.h>

SDL_Surface * IMG_LoadWEBP_IO(SDL_IOStream *src);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, if you already know you definitely have a WEBP image — no doubts, no second-guessing, she's confident — you can call this function, and it will skip SDL_image's file format detection routines. literally just straight in, no sniffing around 🔥

generally it's better to use the abstract interfaces, ngl. also (and this is the tea ☕) there is only an SDL_IOStream interface available here — that's the whole menu, that's the only flavor.

✨ FUNCTION PARAMETERS ✨

  • src — an SDL_IOStream to load image data from 🫶 that's the snack source, the place the bytes live.

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

returns an SDL_Surface, or NULL on error 😭 if you get NULL, something went wrong — check it, don't just vibe past it.

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

this function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0 — she's been iconic from the start, periodt 👑
