allegro_id(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

allegro_id — bestie, it's literally just a string with the date and the version number of Allegro in it 💖

(also hi, you're reading the Allegro manual page for it, welcome to the group chat 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern char allegro_id[];

okay so that's the whole vibe. one include, one lil extern char array. no args, no return value, no drama 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So allegro_id is a text string that holds a date and a version number for the library. that's it. that's the whole thing. ✨

why does it exist tho? because sometimes you wanna display these somewhere — like slap the version up in your about box, or print it at startup so you know which Allegro you're actually running, and Allegro is like "here bestie, I gotchu" and hands you this array 🎀

no cap, it's a char array, not a const char *, so treat it like the icon it is and don't go renaming things 👑

💜 SEE YOU LATER 💜

k byeeee, this page came to you from Allegro, version 4.4.3 🦋 go display that version number somewhere cute, main character energy only, periodt 💅✨🌸
