al_ffblk(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 al_ffblk — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Allegro manual (yes, the Allegro game programming library, we love her) and it's all about al_ffblk, which is a cross platform structure storing file information. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's a little struct who holds the tea about a file she found. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

struct al_ffblk

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

here's the whole struct, laid out exactly like the original because we do not mess with the facts:

   int attrib;       - actual attributes of the file found
   time_t time;      - modification time of file
   char name[512];   - name of file

so let's break it down, bestie:

  • int attrib — the actual attributes of the file that was found. like, the real ones. the receipts. 💅
  • time_t time — the modification time of the file. when it was last touched. its last glow-up moment. ✨
  • char name[512] — the name of the file. and yes, 512 characters of name-space, she's roomy. 👑
now listen. if you wanna know how to actually obtain or use this structure, go read the description of al_findfirst. that's where the how-to lives. i'm not gonna make stuff up, i'm just the messenger. 🫶
