NAME
SDL_DisplayFormat - Convert a surface to the display format
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
