🖼️ al_save_bitmap(3) 🖼️

hii bestie!! 💖 okay so this page is from the Allegro reference manual (the Library Functions Manual girlies know 😌), and it’s all about al_save_bitmap(3) — the little function that saves a bitmap to an image file. slay.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_save_bitmap — Allegro 5 API. literally the save-a-bitmap icon of the group chat 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_save_bitmap(const char *filename, ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so al_save_bitmap saves an ALLEGRO_BITMAP(3) to an image file. The file type is determined by the extension — so like, the extension is the vibe check for what format you’re getting ✨.

It returns true on success and false on error. no cap, that’s the whole return situation 💀.

⚠️ note: the core Allegro library does not support any image file formats by default. You must use the allegro_image addon, or register your own format handler. bestie do not forget this part 😭 otherwise you’re gonna have a bad time.
