✨ al_findclose — Allegro manual ✨

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about al_findclose(3) from the Allegro game programming library 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_findclose — closes a previously opened search with al_findfirst(). it's giving cleanup era, and it lives in the Allegro game programming library 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

void al_findclose(struct al_ffblk *info);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, this function closes a search that you already opened with al_findfirst(). that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 🔥

but listen, this is the important part, no cap: you need to call this on all your successfully opened searches. every single one. because if you don't, your program is gonna have memory leaks and that's not the vibe. not even a little bit. leaks are giving messy, leaks are giving unresolved situationship with your heap, and we do not claim that energy 🙈

so: open a search, close the search. open a search, close the search. balance. symmetry. main character energy 🌈
