```c
SHZ_INLINE void shz_mat4x4_init_lookat(shz_mat4x4_t* mat, shz_vec3_t eye, shz_vec3_t center, shz_vec3_t up) SHZ_NOEXCEPT;
```

Initializes the given matrix to a "lookAt" view matrix.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mat` | `shz_mat4x4_t *` |  |
| `eye` | `shz_vec3_t` |  |
| `center` | `shz_vec3_t` |  |
| `up` | `shz_vec3_t` |  |

## Returns

Nothing (`void`).

## Warnings

- This routine clobbers XMTRX.

## Naming and requirements

- `shz_mat4x4_t` and `shz_mat2x2_t` arguments must be 8-byte aligned. Unaligned data goes through the `float[16]` parameters of the `_unaligned` routines.
