al_seek_video(3)

💖 al_seek_video(3) — Allegro 5 API, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, you're looking at a page from the Allegro reference manual. It's short, it's sweet, and it's giving “seek the video, but read the fine print.” Let's go 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_seek_video — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>

bool al_seek_video(ALLEGRO_VIDEO *video, double pos_in_seconds)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So you wanna seek to a different position in the video? Say less.

Call al_seek_video and hand it your ALLEGRO_VIDEO *video plus a double pos_in_seconds. The function is declared to return bool.

But here's the tea, bestie: currently only seeking to the beginning of the video is supported. Like, that's the whole supported seek. Don't be out here expecting every timestamp to slay — the page does not promise that, and I'm not adding claims it doesn't make. 💀

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.0 — yes, this one has been around since then, no cap ✨

source check: this is from the Allegro reference manual, page al_seek_video(3). The original footer didn't print a date, so I'm not inventing one — bye bestie, go seek responsibly 🫶💖
