DESCRIPTION

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       text   the TTF_Text
               to modify.

       offset the  offset,  in  bytes,  from the beginning of the string if >= 0, the offset from the end of the
              string if < 0. Note that this does not do UTF-8 validation, so you should  only  delete  at  UTF-8
              sequence boundaries.

       length the length of text to delete, in bytes, or -1 for the remainder of the string.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

THREAD SAFETY

       This function should be called on the thread that created the text.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
