- <b>SDL_LockSurface</b>
- sets up a surface for directly accessing the pixels. Between calls to <b>SDL_LockSurface</b>
- and <b>SDL_UnlockSurface</b>, you can write to and read from <b>surface-><b>pixels</b></b>, using
- the pixel format stored in <b>surface-><b>format</b></b>. Once you are done accessing the
- surface, you should use <b>SDL_UnlockSurface</b> to release it. <p>
- Not all surfaces
- require locking. If <b>SDL_MUSTLOCK</b>(<b>surface</b>) evaluates to <b>0</b>, then you can read
- and write to the surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface
- will not change. <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>
- 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. <p>
