al_create_file_handle(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to al_create_file_handle(3) from the Library Functions Manual — this is the Allegro 5 API page, and it's literally about creating a file handle with custom-data energy 💅✨

• al_create_file_handle — Allegro 5 API 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_FILE *al_create_file_handle(const ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE *drv,
   void *userdata)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function creates an empty, opened file handle with some abstract user data. The way it works: it lets custom interfaces extend the ALLEGRO_FILE(3) struct with their own data — lowkey custom-file-interface main character energy, no cap 🎀💖

when you're finished with it, you should close the handle with the standard al_fclose(3) function. That's the whole aftercare routine, bestie — don't just leave it open and ghost it 😭💀
