# SDL_WriteS16LE

Use this function to write 16 bits in native format to an [SDL_IOStream](SDL_IOStream) as little-endian data.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3/SDL_iostream.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_iostream.h)

## Syntax

```c
SDL_bool SDL_WriteS16LE(SDL_IOStream *dst, Sint16 value);

```

## Function Parameters

|               |                                          |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **dst**       | the stream to which data will be written |
| **value**     | the data to be written, in native format |

## Return Value

Returns [SDL_TRUE](SDL_TRUE) on successful write, [SDL_FALSE](SDL_FALSE) on
failure; call [SDL_GetError](SDL_GetError)() for more information.

## Remarks

SDL byteswaps the data only if necessary, so the application always
specifies native format, and the data written will be in little-endian
format.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
