NAME¶

SDL_SaveBMP_IO - Save a surface to a seekable SDL data stream in BMP format.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_surface.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

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

DESCRIPTION¶

Surfaces with a 24-bit, 32-bit and paletted 8-bit format get saved in the BMP directly. Other RGB formats with 8-bit or higher get converted to a 24-bit surface or, if they have an alpha mask or a colorkey, to a 32-bit surface before they are saved. YUV and paletted 1-bit and 4-bit formats are not supported.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

surface

the SDL_Surface
structure containing the image to be saved.

dst

a data stream to save to.

closeio

if true, calls SDL_CloseIO () on dst before returning, even in the case of an error.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns true on success or false on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
