AL_GET_NEW_DISPLAY_REFRESH_RATE(3)

al_get_new_display_refresh_rate(3) 💅✨

okay so bestie, welcome to this lil page from the Library Functions Manual — Allegro 5 API edition 🦋. We're talking about one very specific function today, and it's here to get a refresh-rate request. no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

al_get_new_display_refresh_rate — Allegro 5 API. That's the full name, and yes it's a long one; the header truncates it as al_get_new...efresh_rate(3) because manpages love a dramatic ellipsis 😭.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_new_display_refresh_rate(void)

That's it: no args, just void, and it gives you back an int — slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what does it actually do? It gets the requested refresh rate to be used when creating new displays on the calling thread. That's the entire tea ☕ — requested refresh rate, new displays, calling thread. It's giving “what refresh rate did we ask for in this new-display setup?” energy 💅.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• al_set_new_display_refresh_rate(3) — the other refresh-rate function on the block; go read that one next, bestie 🫶.
