# SDL::VideoInfo(3pm)

Video Target Information

## NAME

SDL::VideoInfo - Video Target Information

### CATEGORY

Core, Video, Structure

## SYNOPSIS

```
        my $video_info = SDL::Video::get_video_info();
```

VideoInfo is only accessible `"SDL::Video::get_video_info"`. This module only provides getters to the struct `"SDL_VideoInfo"`.

## DESCRIPTION

This object is a read-only structure and is returned by `"SDL::Video::get_video_info"`. It contains information on either the best available mode if called before `"SDL::Video::set_video_mode"` or the current video mode if called after `"SDL::Video::set_video_mode"`.

## METHODS

### hw\_available

```
        $video_info->hw_available() # 1 if Hardware Accelerated Surfaces available
```

Is it possible to create hardware surfaces ?

### wm\_available

```
        $video_info->wm_available() # 1 if Window Manager available
```

Is there a window manager available ?

### blit\_hw

```
        $video_info->blit_hw()
```

Are hardware to hardware blits accelerated ?

### blit\_hw\_CC

```
        $video_info->blit_hw_CC()
```

Are hardware to hardware colorkey blits accelerated ?

### blit\_hw\_A

```
        $video_info->blit_hw_A()
```

Are hardware to hardware alpha blits accelerated ?

### blit\_sw

```
        $video_info->blit_sw()
```

Are software to hardware blits accelerated ?

### blit\_sw\_CC

```
        $video_info->blit_sw_CC()
```

Are software to hardware colorkey blits accelerated ?

### blit\_sw\_A

```
        $video_info->blit_sw_A()
```

Are software to hardware alpha blits accelerated ?

### blit\_fill

```
        $video_info->blit_fill()
```

Are color fills accelerated ?

### video\_mem

```
        my $video_mem = $video_info->video_mem();
```

Total amount of video memory in Kilobytes, should be accessed only if hw\_available == 1, otherwise it is equal to 0

### vfmt

```
        my $vd_pixel_format = $video_info->vfmt();
```

`"SDL::PixelFormat"` of the video device

### current\_w, current\_h

```
        $video_info->current_w();
        $video_info->current_h();
```

Width and height of the current video mode, or of the desktop mode if `"SDL_GetVideoInfo"` was called before `"SDL::Video::set_video_mode"` (available since SDL 1.2.10)
