NAME¶

SDL_IOFromMem - Use this function to prepare a read-write memory buffer for use with SDL_IOStream .

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

SDL_IOStream* SDL_IOFromMem(void *mem, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION¶

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

This memory buffer is not copied by the SDL_IOStream ; 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 SDL_IOStream
never writes to the memory buffer, you should use

SDL_IOFromConstMem () with a read-only buffer of memory instead.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

mem

a pointer to a buffer to feed an SDL_IOStream
stream

size

the buffer size, in bytes

RETURN VALUE¶

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

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
