adime_callback(3)

💖 adime_callback(3) — the Adime API Reference, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this one lives in the Adime manual (section 3, the library-functions girlies), and it's literally the tiniest page ever but it's SO useful. it's called adime_callback. yes, same name as the page. we love a self-titled icon. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <adime.h>

void (*adime_callback)(DIALOG *d)

look at her. one header, one function pointer. minimalism. main character energy. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so adime_callback is a function pointer, right? and the whole vibe is: if you set it to literally anything that isn't NULL, then that function of yours gets called continuously — like, non-stop, over and over — for as long as an Adime dialog is open. not once. not on open. continuously. the way that it just keeps going?? 😭 obsessed.

and the argument, d, it's not random, it points to the first object of the current Adime dialog. or — plot twist — the first object of Allegro's file selector when that one's open. so yeah, same pointer, two possible situations, iykyk. 🫶

want to see it in action before you commit? go look at adime/examples/exanim.c — that's the example that shows you how to use this thing to do animation while a dialog is open. yes bestie, moving pictures on top of a dialog. iconic behavior. 🔥

fr fr though: only set this if you actually want it firing constantly. the word is continuously. it means continuously. 💀

mwah 💋 this was Adime, version 2.2.1, brought to you by the adime_callback(3) girlies — stay hydrated, read your manpages, and don't forget to set your callback to NULL when you're done. periodt. ✨🦋🌸💅
