load_ibk(3)

🌸 load_ibk — Allegro manual, but make it a group chat 🌸

okay so bestie, you're looking at load_ibk(3), a page from the Allegro game programming library manual. It's giving "how do I load a .IBK patch file for the Adlib driver" energy, and honestly? iconic. Let's get into it. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

load_ibk — reads in a .IBK patch definition file for the Adlib driver. Allegro game programming library. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

int load_ibk(char *filename, int drums);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, load_ibk reads in a .IBK patch definition file for use by the Adlib driver. That's the whole vibe. 🎶

• If drums is set, it will load it as a percussion patch set.
• Otherwise, it will use it as a replacement set of General MIDI instruments.

You may call this before or after initialising the sound code, or you can simply set the ibk_file and ibk_drum_file variables in the configuration file to have the data loaded automatically. ✨

⚠️ Note that this function has no effect on any drivers other than the Adlib one! So don't come for it if you're using something else, bestie. 💀

😭 RETURN VALUE 😭

Returns non-zero on error. So if you get a zero, you're slaying; if you get non-zero, it's giving error, no cap. 🚨

That's the whole page! This manual page is from Allegro version 4.4.3, and it's for load_ibk(3). The footer didn't come with a date, so we're just repping the version and the manual name. Stay cute, stay compiled. 🫶💖
