###### (This function is part of SDL_image, a separate library from SDL.)
# IMG_LoadPNM_RW

Load a PNM image directly.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL_image.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_image.h)

## Syntax

```c
SDL_Surface * IMG_LoadPNM_RW(SDL_RWops *src);
```

## Function Parameters

|             |         |                                       |
| ----------- | ------- | ------------------------------------- |
| SDL_RWops * | **src** | an SDL_RWops to load image data from. |

## Return Value

(SDL_Surface *) Returns SDL surface, or NULL on error.

## Remarks

If you know you definitely have a PNM 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_RWops
interface available here.

## Version

This function is available since SDL_image 2.0.0.
