11 \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP sets up a surface for directly accessing the pixels\&. Between calls to \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP and \fBSDL_UnlockSurface\fP, you can write to and read from \fBsurface->\fBpixels\fR\fR, using the pixel format stored in \fBsurface->\fBformat\fR\fR\&. Once you are done accessing the surface, you should use \fBSDL_UnlockSurface\fP to release it\&.

13 Not all surfaces require locking\&. If \fBSDL_MUSTLOCK\fP(\fBsurface\fR) evaluates to \fB0\fR, then you can read and write to the surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface will not change\&.

15 No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time\&.

17 It should be noted, that since SDL 1\&.1\&.8 surface locks are recursive\&. This means that you can lock a surface multiple times, but each lock must have a match unlock\&.
