# IMG\_LoadPCX\_IO(3)

Load a PCX image directly.

## NAME

IMG\_LoadPCX\_IO - Load a PCX image directly.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3\_image/SDL\_image.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3_image/SDL_image.h"
```

**SDL\_Surface \* IMG\_LoadPCX\_IO(SDL\_IOStream \*src);**

## DESCRIPTION

If you know you definitely have a PCX 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.

## FUNCTION PARAMETERS

- *src*

  an SDL\_IOStream to load image data from.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns SDL surface, or NULL on error.

## AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL\_image 3.0.0.
