SDL_RWclose

Use this function to close and free an allocated SDL_RWops structure.

Contents

Syntax

int SDL_RWclose(struct SDL_RWops* context)

context

SDL_RWops structure to close

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

SDL_RWops *rw = SDL_RWFromFile("test.bin","r");
if(rw != NULL) {
  extern Uint8 buf[256];
  SDL_RWread(rw, buf, sizeof (buf));
  SDL_RWclose(rw);
}

Note that if this fails to flush the stream to disk, this function reports an error, but the RWops is still invalid once this function returns.

SDL_RWclose is actually a macro that calls the SDL_RWops's close method appropriately, to simplify application development.
