load_tga_pf(3)

💖 load_tga_pf(3) — the Allegro manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual page for load_tga_pf ✨ it's a packfile-flavoured version of load_tga, from the Allegro game programming library, and it's honestly so useful 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

BITMAP *load_tga_pf(PACKFILE *f, RGB *pal);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically it's a version of load_tga() that reads from a packfile instead of a regular file — same energy, different source, no cap 💅

here's the example, copied exactly because we do not play with code:

PACKFILE *packfile;
BITMAP *bmp;

packfile = pack_fopen("mybitmap.tga", F_READ);
if (!packfile)
   abort_on_error("Couldn't open mybitmap.tga");

bmp = load_bmp_pf(packfile, pal);
if (!bmp)
   abort_on_error("Error loading mybitmap.tga");

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

it hands you back a pointer to the bitmap, or NULL if something went wrong 😭

⚠️ okay this part is important, don't skip it: you are responsible for destroying the bitmap when you're done with it, so you don't leak memory. not me, not the library — you. periodt 💀
