✨ al_register_bitmap_loader_f(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API reference manual 💖 this one's a little function with main character energy — it's all about telling Allegro who's in charge of loading your bitmap files 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_register_bitmap_loader_f(const char *extension,
   ALLEGRO_BITMAP *(*fs_loader)(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp, int flags))

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function registers a handler for al_load_bitmap_f(3). The function you pass in is the one that'll be used to handle loading bitmap files with the extension you give it. no cap, that's literally the whole vibe ✨

The extension should include the leading dot (.) character. and the way it gets matched? case-insensitively 💅 so don't stress about caps.

The fs_loader argument may be NULL to unregister an entry — yes queen, you can yeet a handler out of existence 🙈

It returns true on success, false on error. And heads up: it returns false if you're unregistering an entry that doesn't exist 😭 (iykyk, vibe check failed).
