SDL API Reference                            SDL_DisplayFormat(3)



NAME
     SDL_DisplayFormat - Convert a surface to the display format

SYNOPSIS
     #include "SDL.h"

     SDL_Surface *SDL_DisplayFormat(SDL_Surface *surface);

DESCRIPTION
     This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface
     of  the  pixel  format  and colors of the video framebuffer,
     suitable for fast blitting  onto  the  display  surface.  It
     calls SDL_ConvertSurface

     If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or  alpha
     blit  acceleration,  you  should  set the colorkey and alpha
     value before calling this function.

     If you want an alpha channel, see SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha.

RETURN VALUE
     If the conversion fails or runs out of  memory,  it  returns
     NULL
