AL_GET_NUM_VIDEO_ADAPTERS(3)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_num_video_adapters — Allegro 5 API 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the al_get_num_video_adapters(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's here to answer one very specific question: how many video adapters are we working with? 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_num_video_adapters(void)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Get the number of video “adapters” attached to the computer. Every video card attached to the computer counts as one or more adapters. So an adapter is really a video port that can have a monitor connected to it, fr fr 🖥️✨

On Windows, use al_set_new_display_flags(3) to switch between the Direct3D and OpenGL backends — and those will often have different adapters available. iykyk 👀🔥

That's the whole page, mwah 💋 — brought to you by the Allegro reference manual as the al_get_num...eo_adapters(3) page, with no date in the footer, just the manual name and page title doing their iconic thing 💖✨
