💅 al_open_directory(3) — from the Library Functions Manual 💅

✨ NAME ✨

al_open_directory — Allegro 5 API, bestie 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_open_directory(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so al_open_directory opens a directory entry object. That’s the whole vibe. ✨

You must call this before using al_read_directory(3) on an entry — like, don’t skip this step, it’s giving prerequisite energy. And you must call al_close_directory(3) when you no longer need it. No leaving stuff open, bestie, that’s not the move. 💅

It returns true on success. Periodt. 🫶

Sign-off time: this page is from the Allegro reference manual 💜 — that’s the source/version footer, and there’s no date listed, so no invented date here, just good clean manual-page vibes. 🎀🌈
