IMG_SaveICO_IO(3)

💖 IMG_SaveICO_IO 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_image3 function zone ✨ this one lives in the IMG_SaveICO_IO(3) era of your life and it's literally about yeeting an SDL_Surface out into ICO image data through an SDL_IOStream 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

IMG_SaveICO_IO — save an SDL_Surface into ICO image data, via an SDL_IOStream 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3_image/SDL_image.h>

bool IMG_SaveICO_IO(SDL_Surface *surface, SDL_IOStream *dst, bool closeio);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, if you're just trying to save to a filename and you don't wanna deal with streams at all? bestie, use IMG_SaveICO() instead, that's the whole vibe 🫶

and here's the tea you actually need to clock: if closeio is true, then dst gets closed before returning — and it does that whether this function succeeds or not. no cap. success, failure, doesn't matter, it's getting closed 💀

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• surface — the SDL_Surface you wanna save, bestie. that's the one.
• dst — the SDL_IOStream you're saving the image data into 📥
• closeio — true if you want the SDL_IOStream closed/freed before returning, false if you want it left open. your call, main character 👑

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

returns true on success or false on failure 😭 and if it's giving failure, call SDL_GetError() for more info, that's where the receipts live 🧾

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function is available since SDL_image 3.4.0 🎉 so if you're on anything older, sorry babe, it's not there yet.
