al_load_config_file(3)

okay bestie, welcome to the al_load_config_file(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — yes, that manual — and it's literally about reading a config file from disk 💖✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_load_config_file — Allegro 5 API, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_CONFIG *al_load_config_file(const char *filename)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this function reads a configuration file from disk. That's the main character move. 💅

If something goes wrong, it returns NULL on error — not the slay outcome, but that's what happens 😭. And listen: the configuration structure should be destroyed with al_destroy_config(3) when you're done with it. Cleanup is self-care, periodt. 🧚
