🎀 al_inhibit_screensaver(3) 🎀

okay so this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s the Allegro 5 API entry for al_inhibit_screensaver. bestie, it’s short, it’s useful, and it’s lowkey doing exactly what it says on the tin 💖

✨ NAME ✨

al_inhibit_screensaver — Allegro 5 API 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_inhibit_screensaver(bool inhibit)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here’s the tea ☕: this function lets you stop the system screensaver from starting up if true is passed. if false is passed, it resets the system back to the default state — specifically, the state at program start. no cap, that’s the reset behavior.

it returns true if the state was set successfully, otherwise false. and that’s literally it, bestie — tiny function, big “leave my screen alone” energy 🔥

mwah 💋 this has been the Allegro reference manual for al_inhibit_screensaver(3) — and since the page didn’t give us a version/date line, we’re not inventing one, periodt 💅✨
