🌸 NAME 🌸

save_tga — saves a bitmap into a TGA file. part of the Allegro game programming library, iykyk. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int save_tga(const char *filename, BITMAP *bmp, const RGB *pal);

like, three args, no drama. we love a low-maintenance queen. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: save_tga writes a bitmap into a TGA file. and not just any TGA file — she's flexible, she's versatile, she's giving range. 🌈

the file she writes can be any of these, no cap:

  • 256-color
  • 15-bit hicolor
  • 24-bit truecolor
  • 32-bit truecolor+alpha

literally obsessed with her for that. pick your format, she'll handle it. ✨

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns non-zero on error. so like, if you get anything that isn't zero, that's your sign something went off. zero is the slay outcome. 💀➡️💖
