al_fwrite(3)

💅 al_fwrite(3) — Allegro 5 API 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the al_fwrite(3) page, straight out of the Library Functions Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a vibe.

✨ NAME ✨

al_fwrite — Allegro 5 API 🌸

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

size_t al_fwrite(ALLEGRO_FILE *f, const void *ptr, size_t size)

like, that's it. that's the whole signature. copy it exactly, bestie, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you've got a buffer, and ptr is pointing right at it 👉 and you want to write size bytes from that buffer into the given file f. that's the whole job. that's what she does. iconic behavior honestly 💅

and the return value? she gives you the number of bytes actually written. like, really actually. and if something goes wrong, the return value is a short byte count (or zero) 😭 so yeah, lowkey check your return value. a short count is your little heads-up that not everything made it. zero means nothing made it. rough out there fr fr 💀

not me reminding you again: an error shows up as a short byte count (or zero) — that's straight from the page, bestie, don't @ me.
