💖 install_param_int_ex — the Allegro manual, but make it slay 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the install_param_int_ex(3alleg4) page of the Allegro manual. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, that's her government name 💅 Allegro is a game programming library, and today we're talking timers that carry baggage (affectionate).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

int install_param_int_ex(void (*proc)(void *), void *param, int speed);

look at her. gorgeous. iconic. one line of C and she's already passing pointers around like it's nothing 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: you already know and love install_int_ex(), right? this is literally that, except the callback routine gets handed a copy of the void pointer parameter you specified. that's the whole plot twist. param goes in, param comes out, your proc receives it, everyone claps 🎀

and listen, when you wanna shut this handler down, you do NOT use remove_int(). you use remove_param_int() instead. different function, bestie, don't mix them up or it's giving chaos 😭 that's not a vibe, that's a bug.

lowkey important: the parameter is passed by copy. that's what the page says, that's what we're saying, no extras, no cap.

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

because one manpage is never enough, here's the rest of the friend group:

go read them, they're all matching sets 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! no notes, she ate and left absolutely no crumbs 👑

Allegro version 4.4.3 — mwah, that's the source and the version, and this whole vibe check was brought to you by the install_param_int_ex(3alleg4) manual page. periodt 💖✨🦋
