SDL-mirror/docs/man3/SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom.3
Sam Lantinga f037300cd2 Erik Heckers fixed bug #493
Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g.
  man -k SDL_ |grep Video
After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates
the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce
entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages.
After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space.
After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing
   SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL
with
   SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL
everything works fine.
After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a
   man -k SDL_
and SDL_Init is listed in the output.

SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom \- Create an SDL_Surface from pixel data
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom\fP\fR(\fBvoid *pixels, int width, int height, int depth, int pitch, Uint32 Rmask, Uint32 Gmask, Uint32 Bmask, Uint32 Amask\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Creates an SDL_Surface from the provided pixel data\&.
.PP
The data stored in \fBpixels\fR is assumed to be of the \fBdepth\fR specified in the parameter list\&. The pixel data is not copied into the \fBSDL_Surface\fR structure so it should not be freed until the surface has been freed with a called to \fISDL_FreeSurface\fR\&. \fBpitch\fR is the length of each scanline in bytes\&.
.PP
See \fI\fBSDL_CreateRGBSurface\fP\fR for a more detailed description of the other parameters\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns the created surface, or \fBNULL\fR upon error\&.
