## Header File

Defined in [SDL_surface.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_surface.h)

## Syntax

```c
SDL_bool SDL_HasSurfaceRLE(SDL_Surface * surface);

```

| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **surface**     | the [SDL_Surface](SDL_Surface) structure to query |

## Return Value

Returns [SDL_TRUE](SDL_TRUE) if the surface is RLE enabled,

[SDL_FALSE](SDL_FALSE).
