(This function is part of SDL_image, a separate library from SDL.)

IMG_LoadGIF_IO

Load a GIF image directly.

Header File

Defined in SDL_image.h

Syntax

SDL_Surface * IMG_LoadGIF_IO(SDL_IOStream *src);

Function Parameters

src

an SDL_IOStream to load image data from.

Return Value

Returns SDL surface, or NULL on error

Remarks

If you know you definitely have a GIF image, you can call this function, which will skip SDL_image's file format detection routines. Generally it's better to use the abstract interfaces; also, there is only an SDL_IOStream interface available here.

Version

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0.
