SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL.h"

       SDL_Surface *SDL_DisplayFormat(SDL_Surface *surface);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  takes  a  surface and copies it to a new surface of the
       pixel format and colors of the video  framebuffer,  suitable  for  fast
       blitting onto the display surface. It calls SDL_ConvertSurface

       If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit accel-
       eration, you should set the colorkey and  alpha  value  before  calling
       this function.

       If you want an alpha channel, see SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha.

RETURN VALUE

       If the conversion fails or runs out of memory, it returns NULL
