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

Load a XCF image directly.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3_image/SDL_image.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/blob/main/include/SDL3_image/SDL_image.h)

## Syntax

```c
SDL_Surface * IMG_LoadXCF_IO(SDL_IOStream *src);
```

## Function Parameters

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

## Return Value

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

## Remarks

If you know you definitely have a XCF 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_IOStream
interface available here.

## Version

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0.
