How to use bitblt in linux?

Question

Can we use bitblt in linux? I saw a bitblt documentation which states that bitblt was developed to handle graphical operations in windows which confuses me that is it possible to use bitblt in linux.

Answer 1

If you want to perform the same operation on Linux, that BITBLT performs on Windows (which btw, stands for Bit Boundary Block Transfer), you can use a the blit function provided by a game programming library called Allegro.
