Duplicating a surface [SDL]

Is it possible to duplicate the screen surface with SDL?

What about with SFML too? (uni? ;-))

Again, in SFML it is really beautifully simple.

sf::Image copyOfImage = origImage;

This calls the copy constructor and you end up with a duplicate of the pixel data :) Note: I haven't actually tried it, but this is what i read. I have never had the need to duplicate an image

In SDL… hmm… let me think… You could try converting the surface (to the same format). That should give you a copy.

cool! Now I know if I ever need it. (I really need to get started on that chat program…:/)
