💖 NAME 💖

al_ferror(3) from the Library Functions Manual — it’s the Allegro 5 API function al_ferror, bestie. Iconic little file-error vibe check. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so first you gotta include the header, like this:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_ferror(ALLEGRO_FILE *f)

no cap, that’s the whole signature. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so al_ferror returns non-zero if the error indicator is set on the given file — meaning there was some sort of previous error. it’s giving “hey bestie, something went wrong earlier” energy. 😭

and the error code may be system or file interface specific, so don’t assume it’s one universal thing. periodt. 💫
