install_timer(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is install_timer(3) from the Allegro manual. Its whole vibe: install_timer — installs the Allegro timer interrupt handler. periodt. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

int install_timer();

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This function installs the Allegro timer interrupt handler. You must do this before installing any user timer routines, and also before:

• displaying a mouse pointer
• playing FLI animations or MIDI music
• using any of the GUI routines

No cap, it's giving "do this first or everything's gonna be a mess." 🦋

🌸 RETURN VALUE 🌸

Returns zero on success, or a negative number on failure. But you may decide not to check the return value, because this function is very unlikely to fail. Lowkey valid, highkey still good to know. 😌

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• remove_timer(3)
• install_int(3)

Allegro version 4.4.3 and install_timer(3) — that's the footer tea. No date listed in the footer, so no date invented, bestie. 💖✨
