sdlxLoadFile function iostream

({Uint8List data, int datasize})? sdlxLoadFile(String file)

Load all the data from a file path.

The data is allocated with a zero byte at the end (null terminated) for convenience. This extra byte is not included in the value reported via datasize.

The data should be freed with SDL_free().

\param file the path to read all available data from. \param datasize if not NULL, will store the number of bytes read. \returns the data or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety It is safe to call this function from any thread.

\since This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.

Implementation

    ffi.using((arena) {
      final datasizePointer = arena<Size>();
      final dataPointer = sdlLoadFile(file, datasizePointer);

      if (dataPointer == nullptr) {
        return null;
      }

      final datasize = datasizePointer.value;
      final data = Uint8List.fromList(
        dataPointer.cast<Uint8>().asTypedList(datasize),
      );

      sdlFree(dataPointer.cast<Void>());

      return (data: data, datasize: datasize);
