💖 get_refresh_rate — Allegro manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a lil function from the Allegro game programming library (yes, that Allegro, the one from get_refresh_rate(3), we're literally in it rn) and it's here to tell you how fast your screen is refreshing. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

get_refresh_rate — returns the current refresh rate. 🦋 Allegro game programming library.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

int get_refresh_rate(void);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically 💅 — this one returns the current refresh rate, if known. and that "if known" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here, because not all drivers are able to report this information 😭.

If the actual rate is unknown, it returns zero. that's it, that's the vibe check. zero means "idk bestie, your driver isn't telling me" 🙈.
