AL_SEEK_AUDIO_STREAM_SECS(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_seek_audio_stream_secs — bestie, this is the Allegro 5 API ✨

So like, the manual page name is al_seek_au...stream_secs(3) and it lives in the Library Functions Manual family, but honestly? All you need to know is right here 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_seek_audio_stream_secs(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream, double time)

Two args, one bool out. Clean. Iconic. No notes 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so here's the tea ☕: al_seek_audio_stream_secs sets the streaming file's playing position to time. That's it. That's the whole vibe. You point at a moment, the stream jumps there, slay 💖

It returns true on success. Literally just true. Not false, not "maybe", not "it depends on your star sign" — true, or you're not getting the good news 😭

Important caveat, bestie, don't skip this one 💀 Currently this can only be called on streams created with al_load_audio_stream(3), al_play_audio_stream(3), al_load_audio_stream_f(3) or al_play_audio_stream_f(3). That's the whole guest list — if your stream wasn't made by one of those four, this function is not for you, no cap 🚫

So like — four creators, one seek function. Check your stream's origin story before you call this, fr fr 🦋

And that's the page, bestie — mwah 💋 This lil writeup comes courtesy of the Allegro reference manual, and the page itself is filed under al_seek_au...stream_secs(3) (yes the truncated name is canon, we don't make the rules 🙈). Go forth and seek responsibly 🎀💜
