AL_ANDROID_SET_APK_FILE_INTERFACE(3)

💅 al_android_set_apk_file_interface(3) 💅

okay so we’re in the Library Functions Manual — that’s the manual name, folded in right here so it’s cute and accounted for — and the main character is al_android_set_apk_file_interface(3). Allegro 5 API energy, no cap. ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

al_android_set_apk_file_interface — Allegro 5 API function that sets up a custom ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE(3) so future al_fopen(3) calls read from the application’s APK file. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_android.h>

void al_android_set_apk_file_interface(void)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, here’s the tea: this function will set up a custom ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE(3) that makes all future calls of al_fopen(3) read from the application’s APK file. literally future al_fopen(3) calls get pointed at the APK file. 🫶

Note: Currently, access to the APK file after calling this function is read only. So no writing to the APK through this setup — that’s the current limit, bestie. 💅

✨ SINCE ✨

5.1.2 — that’s when this icon arrived. 🎀

xoxo, source/version: Allegro reference manual — footer tag al_android...e_interface(3), and the footer date wasn’t given, so no invented date from me, bestie. 💖
