int	height	the height of the block to copy, in pixels.
SDL_PixelFormat	src_format	an SDL_PixelFormat value of the `src` pixels format.
SDL_Colorspace	src_colorspace	an SDL_Colorspace value describing the colorspace of the `src` pixels.
SDL_PropertiesID	src_properties	an SDL_PropertiesID with additional source color properties, or 0.
const void *	src	a pointer to the source pixels.
int	src_pitch	the pitch of the source pixels, in bytes.
SDL_PixelFormat	dst_format	an SDL_PixelFormat value of the `dst` pixels format.
SDL_Colorspace	dst_colorspace	an SDL_Colorspace value describing the colorspace of the `dst` pixels.
SDL_PropertiesID	dst_properties	an SDL_PropertiesID with additional destination color properties, or 0.
void *	dst	a pointer to be filled in with new pixel data.
int	dst_pitch	the pitch of the destination pixels, in bytes.
