AL_REGISTER_SAMPLE_SAVER(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is al_register_sample_saver(3) from the Library Functions Manual, and the NAME line is literally al_register_sample_saver - Allegro 5 API. It’s an Allegro 5 API function, and it’s the one that registers a saver for samples. main character energy, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

              #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

              bool al_register_sample_saver(const char *ext,
                 bool (*saver)(const char *filename, ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *spl))

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So bestie, you’re registering a handler for al_save_sample(3) — the function you pass in is the one that handles saving sample files with the extension you gave it. that’s the whole vibe. 🫶

The extension should include the leading dot (.) character — yes, the dot is part of the outfit, don’t skip it. It will be matched case-insensitively, so casing gets a pass. ✨

The saver argument may be NULL to unregister an entry. It’s giving “actually, never mind” energy. 🙈

Returns true on success, false on error. It also returns false if unregistering an entry that doesn’t exist — lowkey rude, but those are the rules. 💀
