al_fclearerr(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_fclearerr - Allegro 5 API

hiii bestie 💖 this is the al_fclearerr(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s literally the Allegro 5 API function for clearing a file’s error indicator. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_fclearerr(ALLEGRO_FILE *f)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so clear the error indicator for the given file. That’s the whole vibe 💅

The standard I/O backend also clears the end-of-file indicator, and other backends should try to do this. But — and this is the important part, bestie — they may not if it would require too much effort (e.g. PhysicsFS backend), so your code should not rely on it if you need your code to be portable to other backends.

🫶 no cap: if portability is the goal, don’t count on the end-of-file indicator getting cleared by every backend.
