✨ SDL_SurfaceHasRLE(3) ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is a page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS fam, and it's about asking a surface one very specific little question. no cap, it's short, it's sweet, it slays. 💅

SDL_SurfaceHasRLE — the "are you RLE enabled, or are you not" detector. Returns whether the surface is RLE enabled. periodt. 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

It just tells you if the surface has RLE turned on. that's the whole plot. 🎀

And here's the part that lowkey saves you: it is safe to pass a NULL surface here — it will just return false. no crash, no drama, no main character meltdown. iconic behavior honestly. 😭✨

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

It is safe to call this function from any thread. yes bestie, any thread, go wild, it's giving very chill. 🌸
