><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_LockSurface</TT
> sets up a surface for directly
accessing the pixels.  Between calls to <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_LockSurface</TT
>
and <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_UnlockSurface</TT

<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"

>surface-&#62;<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>pixels</I

>, using the pixel format stored in
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>surface-&#62;<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>format</I
></TT
></I
></TT
>.  Once you are done accessing the
surface, you should use <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_UnlockSurface</TT
> to release it.</P
><P
>Not all surfaces require locking.
If <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_MUSTLOCK</TT
>(<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>surface</I
></TT
>)
evaluates to <SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>0</SPAN
>, then you can read and write to the
surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface will not change. </P
><P
>No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock
pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time.</P
><P
>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.
