al_get_errno(3)

okay bestie, welcome to al_get_errno(3) — that’s the page name, and it lives in the Library Functions Manual 💖 Allegro 5 API girlies, this one’s for you ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_errno — Allegro 5 API 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int al_get_errno(void)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here’s the tea: some Allegro functions will set an error number as well as returning an error code. not every function, but some — and that’s literally what the page says 🫶

when you need that number, call this function. it retrieves the last error number set for the calling thread. per-thread, bestie — the calling thread’s own little error-number moment 💀✨

fr fr, that’s it. no extra drama, no secret sauce 🌸

that’s the whole vibe, bestie 🫶 — source/version: Allegro reference manual; page: al_get_errno(3); date: not printed on this page, so we’re leaving it iconic and mysterious 💅💋
