al_set_config_value(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is al_set_config_value(3) from the Library Functions Manual — it's the Allegro 5 API function for setting a value in a section of a configuration. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_config_value(ALLEGRO_CONFIG *config,
   const char *section, const char *key, const char *value)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Bestie, here's the vibe: you call al_set_config_value to set a value in a section of a configuration. It's giving “put this key/value pair in this section” energy. ✨

• If the section doesn’t already exist, it will be created. 🌱
• If a value already existed for the given key, it will be overwritten. 💥
• The section can be NULL or "" for the global section. 🌍

Also, for consistency with the on-disk format of config files, any leading and trailing whitespace will be stripped from the value. 😭 If you have significant whitespace you wish to preserve, you should add your own quote characters and remove them when you read the values back in. No cap.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• al_get_config_value(3) — the other function linked in SEE ALSO, iykyk. 🫶

kisses, bestie 💖 this page comes from the Allegro reference manual and it's all about al_set_config_value(3) — the original footer didn’t give us a date, so no fake date energy here, periodt. 🎀
