🌸 load_pcx(3) — Allegro manual 🌸

okay so bestie, we're in the Allegro manual and this page is all about load_pcx(3). it's giving "load a PCX bitmap from a file" and honestly? iconic. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

load_pcx — Loads a PCX bitmap from a file. Allegro game programming library.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

BITMAP *load_pcx(const char *filename, RGB *pal);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Loads a 256-color or 24-bit truecolor PCX file.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Returns a pointer to the bitmap or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the bitmap when you are finished with it to avoid memory leaks.

bestie, that destroy-your-bitmap thing is not a suggestion. if you skip it, you're leaking memory and that's not the vibe. 😭
