flush_config_file(3alleg4)

✨ flush_config_file — the Allegro manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is flush_config_file(3alleg4) from the Allegro manual, and it's genuinely one of those little functions that just works and never asks for credit. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

flush_config_file — flushes the current config file to disk. yeah that's it. that's the whole job. and it's part of the Allegro game programming library, obviously 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

void flush_config_file();

no arguments. no return value. she takes nothing and gives everything. main character energy fr fr 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe: flush_config_file() writes the current config file to disk if the contents have changed since it was loaded, or since the latest call to this function.

that's the whole thing. no drama, no surprises. if nothing changed, she doesn't bother — she's not gonna waste your disk's time for no reason. icon behaviour, honestly. 🌈

lowkey the "only if changed" part is the whole personality of this function — it's not blindly rewriting your file every single time you call it, so you can call it freely without feeling weird about it ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• set_config_file(3alleg4) — for picking which config file you're even talking about
• override_config_file(3alleg4) — the override one, iykyk
• push_config_state(3alleg4) — for saving/stacking your config state

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖✨🎀 go forth and flush responsibly 🫶💅
