ok so this is al_get_display_orientation — the Allegro 5 API function that tells you which way your screen is facing ✨ (and yes bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual, welcome, make yourself comfy 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_display_orientation(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY* display)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

It returns the display orientation, no cap. That's the whole vibe. Hand it a display and it hands you back one of these iconic little constants:

• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_0_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_90_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_180_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_270_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_FACE_UP
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_FACE_DOWN

like. the range?? unknown to literally face-down on the table. it's giving full range of motion 💅

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.0 — she's been serving since 5.1.0, a true veteran 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this little gem lives in the Allegro reference manual (yes that's the source, and the date/version live right down there in the footer with the al_get_dis...rientation(3) tag — the truncated name is not me being lazy, that's literally how it's printed 😭). mwah, go read your display's mind 💖🦋
