SDL_WriteS32BE(3)

💅 SDL_WriteS32BE(3) — SDL3 FUNCTIONS

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're talking about SDL_WriteS32BE from the SDL3 functions squad ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

SDL_WriteS32BE — use this function to write 32 bits in native format to an SDL_IOStream as big-endian data. yes literally that's the whole job. it's giving "endianness translator with a glow-up" 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_iostream.h>

bool SDL_WriteS32BE(SDL_IOStream *dst, Sint32 value);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: SDL byteswaps the data only if necessary, which means the application always specifies native format — you never do the swapping yourself, bestie, that's SDL's job — and the data written will be in big-endian format. periodt.

like, you hand it a number in whatever format your machine vibes with, and it comes out the other side big-endian. no cap. 💅

---

🌸 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🌸

• dst — the stream to which data will be written. this is your little data destination 🫶
• value — the data to be written, in native format. give it to me in native, that's the rule 👑

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

Returns true on successful write or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information. so if it flops, SDL_GetError() is right there with the receipts, iykyk 😭

---

🔥 THREAD SAFETY 🔥

Do not use the same SDL_IOStream from two threads at once. i'm so serious, no sharing, that's not main character energy, that's chaos energy 💀

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0. she's been around, she's iconic, she ate 👑
