+\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_CreateRGBSurface\fP\fR(\fBUint32 flags, int width, int height, int depth, Uint32 Rmask, Uint32 Gmask, Uint32 Bmask, Uint32 Amask\fR);
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+Allocate an empty surface (must be called after \fISDL_SetVideoMode\fR)
+.PP
+If \fBdepth\fR is 8 bits an empty palette is allocated for the surface, otherwise a \&'packed-pixel\&' \fI\fBSDL_PixelFormat\fR\fR is created using the \fB[RGBA]mask\fR\&'s provided (see \fI\fBSDL_PixelFormat\fR\fR)\&. The \fBflags\fR specifies the type of surface that should be created, it is an OR\&'d combination of the following possible values\&.
+.TP 20
+\fBSDL_SWSURFACE\fP
+SDL will create the surface in system memory\&. This improves the performance of pixel level access, however you may not be able to take advantage of some types of hardware blitting\&.
+.TP 20
+\fBSDL_HWSURFACE\fP
+SDL will attempt to create the surface in video memory\&. This will allow SDL to take advantage of Video->Video blits (which are often accelerated)\&.
+.TP 20
+\fBSDL_SRCCOLORKEY\fP
+With this flag SDL will attempt to find the best location for this surface, either in system memory or video memory, to obtain hardware colorkey blitting support\&.
+.TP 20
+\fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP
+With this flag SDL will attempt to find the best location for this surface, either in system memory or video memory, to obtain hardware alpha support
