- *  Allocate and free an RGB surface.
+ * Allocate a new RGB surface.
  *
- *  If the depth is 4 or 8 bits, an empty palette is allocated for the surface.
- *  If the depth is greater than 8 bits, the pixel format is set using the
- *  flags '[RGB]mask'.
+ * If `depth` is 4 or 8 bits, an empty palette is allocated for the surface.
+ * If `depth` is greater than 8 bits, the pixel format is set using the
+ * [RGBA]mask parameters.
  *
- *  If the function runs out of memory, it will return NULL.
+ * The [RGBA]mask parameters are the bitmasks used to extract that color from
+ * a pixel. For instance, `Rmask` being 0xFF000000 means the red data is
+ * stored in the most significant byte. Using zeros for the RGB masks sets a
+ * default value, based on the depth. For example:
  *
- *  \param flags The \c flags are obsolete and should be set to 0.
- *  \param width The width in pixels of the surface to create.
- *  \param height The height in pixels of the surface to create.
- *  \param depth The depth in bits of the surface to create.
- *  \param Rmask The red mask of the surface to create.
- *  \param Gmask The green mask of the surface to create.
- *  \param Bmask The blue mask of the surface to create.
- *  \param Amask The alpha mask of the surface to create.
+ * ```c++
+ * SDL_CreateRGBSurface(0,w,h,32,0,0,0,0);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * However, using zero for the Amask results in an Amask of 0.
+ *
+ * By default surfaces with an alpha mask are set up for blending as with:
+ *
+ * ```c++
+ * SDL_SetSurfaceBlendMode(surface, SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND)
+ * ```
+ *
+ * You can change this by calling SDL_SetSurfaceBlendMode() and selecting a
+ * different `blendMode`.
+ *
+ * \param flags the flags are unused and should be set to 0
+ * \param width the width of the surface
+ * \param height the height of the surface
+ * \param depth the depth of the surface in bits
+ * \param Rmask the red mask for the pixels
+ * \param Gmask the green mask for the pixels
+ * \param Bmask the blue mask for the pixels
+ * \param Amask the alpha mask for the pixels
+ * \returns the new SDL_Surface structure that is created or NULL if it fails;
