al_start_audio_recorder(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay bestie, welcome to the al_start_audio_recorder(3) page from the Library Functions Manual. It’s an Allegro 5 API function, and its whole name is literally al_start_audio_recorder — iconic, no notes. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the exact summoning circle, character for character:

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_start_audio_recorder(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_RECORDER *r)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Begin recording into the fragment buffer. That’s the main character move. Once a complete fragment has been captured — and the fragment setup is whatever you specified back in al_create_audio_recorder(3) — an ALLEGRO_EVENT_AUDIO_RECORDER_FRAGMENT(3) event gets triggered. ✨

It returns true if it was able to begin recording. That’s the whole vibe check, periodt. 💅

🦋 SINCE 🦋

5.1.1 — that’s when this baddie showed up. 🫶

[Unstable API]: The API may need a slight redesign.

So yeah, lowkey marked unstable: the API may need a slight redesign, so don’t act like it’s forever engraved in stone. 🙈

That’s the tea from the Allegro reference manual, page al_start_audio_recorder(3) — source/version energy, no date in the footer, just pure Allegro sparkle 💋✨
