al_fread16le(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is al_fread16le from the Allegro 5 API, and we’re living in the Library Functions Manual — section 3 energy, if you’re keeping score 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int16_t al_fread16le(ALLEGRO_FILE *f)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie, this function reads a 16-bit word in little-endian format — that’s LSB first, periodt 🦋

• On success? It returns the 16-bit word. Slay ✨
• On failure? It returns EOF (-1). Yep, that’s the vibe.

⚠️ careful, bestie: -1 is also a valid return value, so a -1 does not automatically mean failure. Use al_feof(3) to check if the end of the file was reached prematurely, or al_ferror(3) to check if an error occurred. That’s the vibe check, iykyk 😭

okay bye bestie, cute sign-off time: the source/version footer is the Allegro reference manual and this page is al_fread16le(3); there’s no date in that footer, so no invented date drama 🌸💖
