ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS(3)

💖 ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS(3) 💖

okay so this is from the Library Functions Manual and it's the Allegro 5 API page for ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS(3) — bestie, we're talking write masks and it's lowkey iconic ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS — Allegro 5 API. That's the whole name vibe, fr fr. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS {

Yes, the enum opening is exactly that — no cap, that's what the page says. 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The way this works is a whole bit situation: each enabled bit means the corresponding value is written, and each disabled bit means it is not. That's the vibe check. 💖

Here are the flag besties:

• ALLEGRO_MASK_RED — the red bit. Enabled = written, disabled = not. 🍓
• ALLEGRO_MASK_GREEN — the green bit. Same enabled/disabled situation. 🌱
• ALLEGRO_MASK_BLUE — the blue bit. You already know. 💙
• ALLEGRO_MASK_ALPHA — the alpha bit. Enabled means alpha gets written, disabled means nope. 🦋
• ALLEGRO_MASK_DEPTH — the depth bit. Same deal, no cap. 🌈
• ALLEGRO_MASK_RGB — literally the same as RED | GREEN | BLUE. Periodt. 🔥
• ALLEGRO_MASK_RGBA — literally the same as RGB | ALPHA. Ate. 👑

🕰️ SINCE 🕰️

This one has been around since 5.1.2, bestie. Vintage-ish but still main character energy. ✨
