Added an ifdef so that if you #define SDL_NO_COMPAT before you include SDL.h then SDL_compat.h will never be included in your code. This is useful for making sure that your code uses only SDL 1.3 features. It is also handy for finding things that are in SDL_compat.h that belong elsewhere.

.TH "SDL_LockSurface" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_LockSurface \- Lock a surface for directly access\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\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\&.
.PP
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\&. 
.PP
No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time\&.
.PP
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\&. 
.PP

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBSDL_LockSurface\fP returns \fB0\fR, or \fB-1\fR if the surface couldn\&'t be locked\&.
