ALLEGRO_DISPLAY(3)
π ALLEGRO_DISPLAY(3) π
ok so this is a page from the Allegro 5 API, filed under Library Functions Manual, section 3 β and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. a single-struct kinda situation. let's get into it π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
typedef struct ALLEGRO_DISPLAY ALLEGRO_DISPLAY;
that's it. that's the whole vibe. two lines. iconic behavior honestly πΈ
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so ALLEGRO_DISPLAY is an opaque type β which is just fancy speak for "bestie you don't get to see inside this one, it's giving mystery, it's giving main character energy" β and it represents an open display or window.
that's the whole description. no cap, that's literally it. it's the thing that stands for your window being open and alive. if you've got one of these, congrats, you have a display π₯
lowkey the most important word here is opaque β you're not supposed to poke around inside it, you just hold onto it and let Allegro do the heavy lifting. iykyk π
and that's the whole page, bestie β genuinely, we ate and left no crumbs π this one came from the Allegro reference manual, so go forth and display responsibly. mwah! ππ«Άβ¨
