NAME¶

SDL_RWFromMem - Use this function to prepare a read-write memory buffer for use with SDL_RWops .

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

SDL_RWops* SDL_RWFromMem(void *mem, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION¶

This function sets up an SDL_RWops
struct based on a memory area of a certain size, for both read and write access.

This memory buffer is not copied by the RWops; the pointer you provide must remain valid until you close the stream. Closing the stream will not free the original buffer.

If you need to make sure the RWops never writes to the memory buffer, you should use SDL_RWFromConstMem () with a read-only buffer of memory instead.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

mem

a pointer to a buffer to feed an SDL_RWops
stream

size

the buffer size, in bytes

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns a pointer to a new SDL_RWops
structure, or NULL if it fails; call SDL_GetError () for more information.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
