al_get_fs_interface(3)

💅 al_get_fs_interface(3)

ok so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual — Allegro 5 API edition, bestie. it's short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_fs_interface — Allegro 5 API. that's the whole name, no notes, periodt.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like every good Allegro thing, you gotta bring in the header first:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const ALLEGRO_FS_INTERFACE *al_get_fs_interface(void)

no args, no drama. it takes void and it gives you back a pointer. slay.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: this function returns a pointer to the ALLEGRO_FS_INTERFACE(3) table — and not just any table, bestie, it's the one in effect for the calling thread. 👑 threading matters, iykyk.

so like, whichever thread you're on when you call it? that's the filesystem interface table you get back. fr fr. 💅

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• al_store_state(3)
• al_restore_state(3)

go read those next, they're the vibe-adjacent besties of this function ✨

---

💖 tiny reminder: the pointer is const, so don't go trying to rewrite the interface table through it. it's giving "look, don't touch." 🙈

ok that's the whole page, bestie — thank you for coming to my TED talk 🎀 this was Allegro reference manual, al_get_fs_interface(3). mwah, go forth and filesystem 💜
