SDL_WriteS16LE(3)

✨ SDL_WriteS16LE ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_WriteS16LE(3) page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS collection 💖 this one's a lil cutie from SDL_iostream.h and it's gonna write a 16-bit number to a stream for you. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_WriteS16LE — use this function to write 16 bits in native format to an SDL_IOStream as little-endian data 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_iostream.h>

bool SDL_WriteS16LE(SDL_IOStream *dst, Sint16 value);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ SDL byteswaps the data only if necessary, which means you, the application, always specify native format — and the data that actually gets written out will be in little-endian format. no cap. the conversion is SDL's problem, not yours, and honestly? iconic of them 💜

---

🌈 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🌈

• dst — the stream to which data will be written 🍓 like, where's it going, bestie
• value — the data to be written, in native format ✨

---

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

Returns true on successful write or false on failure 😭 and if it fails, call SDL_GetError() for more information. she'll tell you what went wrong, periodt.

---

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

Do not use the same SDL_IOStream from two threads at once. fr fr. that's not a vibe, that's a race condition 💀

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0 👑

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one came to you straight from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, dated with the SDL_WriteS16LE(3) energy we all know and love 🌟 mwah, go write some little-endian bytes 💖🎀🦋
