al_attach_...ource_file(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_attach_shader_source_file — Allegro 5 API, bestie. That's the function, and this page is from the Library Functions Manual under the al_attach_...ource_file(3) title vibe. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_attach_shader_source_file(ALLEGRO_SHADER *shader,
   ALLEGRO_SHADER_TYPE type, const char *filename)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this one is literally like al_attach_shader_source(3), except it reads the shader source code from the named file instead of you handing over the source directly. Iconic file-based behavior, no cap. 📁✨

It returns true on success and false on error — and when it errors, the error log gets updated. You can grab that error log with al_get_shader_log(3), iykyk. 💅

Bestie reminder: true = slay, false = check the shader log. That's the whole vibe check. 🫶

⭐ SINCE ⭐

Mwah 💖 footer check: this is from the Allegro reference manual, wrapping up al_attach_...ource_file(3), with the Allegro 5 API energy — and there's literally no date printed on this page, so that's the cute little sign-off. 🎀✨
