# CEL_DATAPTR

Gets the pointer to a cel's data buffer.

### Synopsis

`CelData * CEL_DATAPTR (ccb)`

### Description

This macro evaluates to a pointer to the cel's data buffer. It takes the CCB_SPABS flag into account and always returns an absolute pointer, even when the CCB contains a relative offset in the ccb_SourcePtr field.

This macro evaluates its argument more than once; be careful of side effects. It is usable in an expression context.

### Arguments

ccb
  Pointer to a cel.

### Return Value

Pointer to the cel's data buffer, a CelData* type.

### Implementation

Macro
