complete SDL 1.2 documentation?

Question

I've been trying to find complete documentation for SDL 1.2. I can't use SDL 2 for several reasons which I don't want to go over right now, but basically, I can't find any wiki backups for SDL 1.2 other than a rather incomplete snapshot on archive.org, this tutorial, and the man pages, and none of which contain information on how to use SDL_RWops.

So, I guess I need one of two things, a man page or simple outline of SDL_RWops and its associated functions, or, preferably, a complete backup of the wiki pre-2.0. I'm sure somewhere there's a backup of the wiki, but I just haven't found it.

I ran into the same issue a while ago.

At some point I compiled a bunch of existing html documents and code samples for SDL 1.2 and made them available here: https://jprzywoski.github.io/sdl-docs/

There is a complete code example for RWops in 'Demos' section.

There is also another tutorial available here: http://llynmir.net/~roger/sdl/rwops/rwops.html
